NOTES
Additional Information:The Housing Authority of the City of New Richmond, a public agency affiliated with the City of New Richmond, was charged with providing local affordable housing during the 1960s. In 1967, the housing authority planned a small apartment complex, located at 370 Odanah Avenue on the west side, funded through HUD federal grants. The Contemporary style apartment complex was completed in 1968 at a cost of $672,000 and consisted of four single-story buildings containing rental properties. The complex includes a courtyard design, community rooms, an office building, and 21 small one-bedroom units, four two-bedroom units, and 15 large one-bedroom units.

Resident priority was initially given to New Richmond residents over the age of 62 who desired low-cost housing. Despite a long waiting list for residency, funding for an expansion subsided in the 1970s. Renovated in 2011, the apartment complex was originally designed by the architect George E. Clayton and Associates and constructed by the Bor-Son Construction Company.
