Cullimore Cottages Update!

by

Sanitary sewer and stormwater infrastructure work has started on the Cullimore Cottages. The stormwater feature will be a significant upgrade to the site and surrounding areas. The site will include 10 new energy efficient and affordable homes.

The project was named after Dan Cullimore, a long time North Central Columbia Neighborhood Association member/leader and a founding member of the CCLT Board. Dan spent many hours advocating for affordable housing, safer neighborhoods, improved infrastructure and a more equitable community. His tireless work alongside many other NCCNA members helped make this project a reality. The Cullimore name will soon be forever affixed to a major infrastructure upgrade and affordable housing development to serve many generations to come. Look for the homes to be coming up in late summer!
