i <br />KANI~TAPQLIS <br />~~ <br />May 20, 2010 <br />North Carolina Housing Finance Agency <br />3508 Bush Street <br />Raleigh, NC 27609-?509 <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />This letter is in support of the award application to the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency <br />for the Villas at Forest Park senior apartment community. The City of Kannapolis provided a <br />loan of $220,500 to help finance this project. In Spring 2009, several City representatives and I <br />attended the grand opening of the Villas at Forest Park, and during the tour of the facility, we <br />were impressed by the quality of the development and construction. We were pleased to see <br />quality construction materials like hardiboard used and amenities such as raised garden beds and <br />spacious common areas provided to the residents. <br />It is clear that the Villas project meets a significant need in our community to provide affordable <br />housing to our elderly citizens, based on how quickly the apartments were leased and occupied. <br />In fact, the City would be very interested to partner with the Douglas Development group again <br />in the future to develop another senior housing community. <br />I regularly volunteer for Meals on Wheels, and part of my route includes stops at the Villas at <br />Forest Park. The property continues to be well maintained, and the residents I visit appear to be <br />pleased with their living arrangement. The City and its residents have benefited from our <br />partriership in the Villas project, and we look forward to additional opportunities to partner in the <br />future to provide affordable housing and improved quality of life to our senior citizens. <br />Sincerely, <br />_~~ / ~~~~ <br />Robert S.
