A groundbreaking ceremony was held Sunday for the Boulevard Commons project, a 22-unit low-income housing complex that will be built in Milwaukee’s central city. The project is being developed by New Covenant Housing Corp. and T.L. Reese Construction is the general contractor. The Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) allocated $4.9 million in low income housing tax credits for the project. A workforce event was held to select skilled and nonskilled tradespeople for the construction project. Employees were hired exclusively from the 53208 and 53210 zip codes.
