Sellersville Senior Residences Groundbreaking

by

Grace Inspired Ministries along with development partner LNWA (Leon N. Weiner & Associates, Inc.) celebrated the formal groundbreaking ceremony for Sellersville Senior Residences, a 50-unit affordable rental community for older adults aged 55 and over. The event took place Tuesday, June 22 at 11:30 am. Due to inclement weather, the event was moved inside at The Community at Rockhill. The complex is located  at the site location at 801 E. Clymer Avenue, Sellersville.

Sellersville Senior Residences will bring much needed affordable and supportive housing to an area with a growing cost of living and a very limited supply of high-quality, cost-effective, rental housing for seniors. LNWA and GIM were awarded highly competitive Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) and have closed on financing with several banking partners, including Penn Community Bank, as well as the County of Bucks, and the Redevelopment Authority for the County of Bucks.

In addition to representatives of GIM, LNWA, and builder Harkins Builders, Inc., local officials from Sellersville Borough and Bucks County attended.

Residents, Community Donate to Telford Fire Company

by

Recognizing the key role the Telford Volunteer Fire Company plays in their community, residents at the Lutheran Community at Telford donated $7,595 to the organization’s recent fundraising efforts to install a new ventilation system in the engine house. In addition to the residents’ donations, the community’s corporate office donated an additional $2,500 for total donation of $10,095.

Currently the Telford Fire Company does not have a ventilation system for the diesel exhaust from apparatus or gas-powered tools within the engine house, which can create a build-up of hazardous fumes. With a first priority of safety for its members, the company started a fundraising campaign to install this equipment, as a project of this size would take up a considerable amount of its operating budget, and state or federal grant monies are not available for a project of this scope.

The Telford Fire Company has been serving Telford Borough and surrounding communities since 1903. This past year, its firefighters responded to a record number of fire calls, a trend expected to continue in the coming years. The Company has over 60 firefighters and eight junior firefighters.
