OUTCRY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR MIDDLE CLASS WORKERS

There has been an outcry for affordable housing for middle class workers in Westmoreland County, Brian Lawrence, executive director of the Westmoreland County Redevelopment and Land Bank, said It is a huge issue for a county with Westmoreland’s demographics. According to Alec Italiano, the director of Greensburg planning and zoning, zoning to permit multi-family units such as townhouses, condominiums and apartment buildings could address the issue and encourage the development of residential housing in downtown areas such as Greensburg.
