Sandusky housing project gets support from state, big time

New construction up to 132 units for independent senior living to start soon

SANDUSKY — A developer was awarded $14.5 million in state grant money on Thursday — just days after the city gave final approval — to build a senior housing project off U.S. 250/Milan Road near the Butler Street ramp.

The developer also will build to specs address concerns some resident expressed earlier.

“We have made some commitments to the city that we’re going over detain due to some concerns and stormwater issues in the area,” said Pete Schwiegeraht, Senior vice president of development with the developer, Pivotal.

He said the company will “go the extra mile and make sure we are minimizing our impact on the area … we should be able to help, hopefully alleviate those as part of our project.”
