Former Glendon Hotel to become affordable townhomes
Cris Collingwood//May 26, 2023//
Listen to this articleFive new affordable townhomes will be built at the former site of the Glendon Hotel in Glendon Borough, Northampton County.
County Executive Lamont G. McClure and the Northampton County Department of Community and Economic Development announced they received $200,000 from the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) to construct affordable townhomes at the former hotel site.
The CFA Board approved grants through Local Share Accounts established by the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act (Act 71 of 2004).
“The Local Share Accounts Program supports projects that promote economic development, community development, and public interest throughout the Commonwealth, and I’m pleased the Glendon Hotel project was selected,” McClure said.
The Glendon Hotel Affordable Housing project will result in five 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom townhomes. Further funding for this project will be sought through Pennsylvania HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds and through an investment of Federal HOME entitlement funds. McClure said.
