The voluntary relocation of the residents of GHA's Nine Oaks Community to "The Iris" at Park Point began in February 2018. Approximately 50 residents were successfully relocated by the "Furniture Taxi" in one week.
Ground Breaking for The Terrace!
The Iris ribbon cutting was followed by the ground breaking of GHA’s Phase III project …an additional 65-unit seniors mid-rise “The Terraces at the Park.” Also designated for those age 62 and above, which is often the demographic most in need of assistance the Terraces has 58-one bedroom units and seven two bedrooms.
Due to the threat of inclement weather GHA Board of Commissions used keep-sake trowels to sift through soil from the “Terraces” site to symbolize the actual ground breaking. Completion of the project is expected to occur in November of 2018.
