This will be the first new construction, tax credit, family project in Ashland since 2000.

The project has also achieved ICC 700 National Green Building Standard Certification.
The development is in proximity to shops, businesses and health care facilities, which provide services for the residents. Union Lofts has elected to use income averaging to support a range of incomes from 30% to 80% of AMGI, and received consideration for serving extremely low-income residents, with 17% of the units available for families at or below 30% of AMI.
