He also gave a vote of appreciation of all those on the Board of the Co- operative for the dedication to the project although they went through many frustrations in the beginning. The Co-operative project will con- sist of 52 townhouses and eighteen apartment units. The townhouses will be two and three bedrooms while the apartments will consist of one. and two bedroom units.
