“Action began this week on the 30-unit low-cost housing for the elderly project in Osceola. The $465,000 project will be a one-story building of 30 units.” This is the opening paragraph from a 1970 story in the Osceola Sun about what has become known as the 3rd Avenue Apartments.
The apartments opened in 1971 and the complex is marking its 50th Anniversary this year.
The story in the Sun said work on the project began in the spring of 1967.
