Farmersville Village Project proposed
The Farmersville Village Project, located just east of the corner of Farmersville Blvd. and E. Walnut Street in Farmersville would add 108 multi-family units in town to be built by Self Help Enterprises.
Proposed on vacant land, the project would require a change of land use and zone designation to allow for the development of a two-phase, 108-unit multi-family residential development on 5.47 acres of land.
The proposed Project will be constructed in two phases. The first phase will build out the northern 2.75 acres and include a 3,000 square foot community building, a children’s playground, nine residential buildings and 80 parking spaces. Phase two will build out the remaining 2.99 acres and will consist of 9 additional residential buildings, a basketball court and 85 parking spaces.
The Self-Help Enterprises Farmersville Village would provide affordable housing to the City of Farmersville. The Project would be financed through the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities 2020 (AHSC) and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits. As part of the AHSC program, the development will be designed to ultimately reduce the community’s greenhouse gas emissions. The development will be professionally managed, and residents of Farmersville Village will be provided with free bus passes and will have access to 20 shareable vehicles for daily needs.
