Sandy Springs signs off on senior housing plan

Sandy Springs has given its approval to a Fulton County plan that would add new housing for senior citizens.

The county’s Housing Authority and the Benoit Group is applying for low-income housing tax credits to rehab a public housing complex on Allen Road.

The plan calls to fix up the center to create 100 apartments for people 62 years old and older, with various income levels. The federal Housing and Urban Development office must still approve the plan.
