One Roof and the Cook County/Grand Marais Economic Development Authority will host an open house to showcase the new homes built at the Nordic Star Housing Development on West Second Street in Grand Marais. The public is invited.
The open house and a brief program will be held from noon to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 18 at the corner of Nordic Star Drive and West Second Street. There will also be refreshments.
Nordic Star Development features four single-family homes in phase one (summer 2018) and four more single-family homes in phase two (fall 2018). The homes feature vaulted, chalet-style ceilings, three bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living room. The houses will be owner-occupied as a principal residence and cannot be used as vacation rental property.
Funding for Nordic Star was made possible through these partnering organizations: City of Grand Marais, Cook County, Cook County/ Grand Marais Economic Development Authority, Minnesota Housing, Greater Minnesota Housing Fund, Minnesota Department of Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation, One Roof Community Housing, and Odyssey Development.
“We are delighted to invite everyone who is interested in taking a tour of these new homes,” states Mary Somnis, EDA director. “Please come and see for yourself, the great asset that One Roof is bringing to Cook County with the Nordic Star project. Families will soon occupy the first four homes. Completion of the next four is expected before the end of the year. Join us in celebrating this milestone moment!”
Households interested in purchasing one of the homes should contact Jim Philbin at One Roof Community Housing in Duluth at 218-249-0083, or by email at jphilbin@1roofhousing.org.
