$23 million affordable housing project breaks ground in Polk County

Construction has started on a new $23 million affordable housing development in Polk County.

The St. Petersburg developer behind the project, Blue Sky Communities, says the community when done will be made up of three buildings with a total of 68 one- and two-bedroom units. Rents will range from $402 per month to $964 per month based on the Area Median Income limits of 30%, 50% and 60%, says Blue Sky.
