Habersham County soon will have additional affordable housing as Sutton Terrace apartments on Clarkesville’s west side begin to phase in residents.
The income-based housing should be allowing its first tenants to move in over the next few weeks, said Clarkesville Zoning Administrator Caleb Gaines.
“The leasing office is here in town on Madison Street across from the police department in the little shared space area," Gaines said. "They’re looking to start moving in people in July and then another phase in August.”
Gaines said a temporary certificate of occupancy could be issued this week, with a full certificate of occupancy coming in a couple of weeks.
Because of the housing shortage, applicants can expect a possible waiting list for the 72 units in the complex, which includes three housing buildings, a community building in the center, playground, and community garden.
Sutton Terrace is located at 5976 Ga. 115, Clarkesville.
Also nearing completion next door to the new complex is a new Dollar General store, located just across from the entrance to Habersham Electric Membership Corp.
