A Boston-based development company has presented town officials with a plan to replace the existing Royal Crest Estates on Route 114 with a mixed-use residential complex including retail businesses, more apartments, townhouses, Merrimack College student housing, a boutique hotel and office space.
Currently owned by Aimco, a real estate trust company, Royal Crest, which sits in North Andover, now has 588 apartments housing residents and boarding students from the college. Aimco is commissioning Trinity Financial to redevelop the 76-acre property, though it is unclear how quickly the pro

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) The city has begun dispersing money to small businesses as part of a second phase of grants designed to help during the pandemic.
As News 18 previously reported, the City of Lafayette already handed out $400,000 to dozens of small businesses last year, but Mayor Tony Roswarski says that wasn t enough to help everyone who was struggling.
The second phase will reach businesses with 25 or fewer employees in low- to moderate-income areas of the city.
Underneath a bitter cold, outdoor stairwell in downtown Helena, United Way of the Lewis and Clark Area volunteers met with two homeless men Thursday night, their voices barely audible over the biting wind and clanging Cathedral of Saint Helena bells.
The volunteers spent the evening scouring downtown parking garages, city parks and trailheads in an effort to generate a rough estimate of the total population of people without a home living in the county.
It is an annual census of sorts known as the Point in Time Survey, which is used to determine the amount of funding for homeless services distributed by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The area United Way has administered the survey for about 20 years.
Several opportunities for needed funding were open to discussion by Refugio County officials this month.
Spending for county projects was broached during a special meeting of commissioners court on Jan. 12, beginning with a discussion on how to best use funds on a potential RESTORE Act grant. Santos-McBain representative Hailey Satterwhite was on-hand to update commissioners on the grant and several potential uses.
Satterwhite stated that she has had ongoing talks with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) on grant reviews, most recently following up with TCEQ on Dec. 9, 2020. When received from the state, grant money will be used on the Austwell/Hynes Bay Dock Pier and Fish Pier project, as well as the Austwell City Park and Woodsboro Veterans Park projects.

JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) - Several Region 8 Counties want to know how many people are considered homeless and need your help to calculate that number.
The Point in Time Count is a national event, but many organizations are working in Craighead, Greene, and Poinsett Counties on Thursday to participate in the count.
“This count allows us to identify those individuals so that we can make sure those services are being connected to them,” Crowley’s Ridge Development Council Director of Human Services Casey Kidd said.
