Thomas Cage explains...Preview: Habitat for Humanity of the New River Valley is hosting a groundbreaking event for Airport Road Townhomes in Blacksburg, on October 30th. The townhomes aim to provide affordable housing for essential workers in the area, such as healthcare professionals and educators, who struggle to find housing due to rising prices. The project includes 11 homes designed for low to moderate-income families. WFXR reports the townhomes will be conveniently located near Virginia Tech, schools, healthcare facilities, and public transportation to promote work-life balance and reduce commute times and costs.
