Marietta Housing opens senior complex in Acworth

A grand opening ceremony is set for Thursday for The Legacy at Walton Overlook senior facility in Acworth.

The 108-unit, $13 million apartment community is reserved for seniors age 55 and over. Fifty-five of the units are set aside for residents age 62 and over whose rents will be capped at 30% of their incomes. Walton Communities beat out 72 applicants to build the project, and received about $9 million in tax credits toward construction. The facility replaces obsolete public housing sites owned by the Acworth Housing Authority.

The ceremony begins at 11 a.m., at 4645 Spring Street in Acworth
