Home builds are common in Peoria.
But there’s a special kind of residential development going on in Old Town Peoria right now.
Currently, there are four Habitat for Humanity projects in various stages in the area of Madison Street and 85th Avenue.
Two properties have been dedicated recently, with homeowners expected to receive their keys in March for move in. The other two dedications will be Feb. 8 and Feb. 15.
Carin Imig, neighborhood and human services department community assistance manager, said in addition to the four properties in Old Town, two Habitat homes are planned to be built on a vacant property located at 11610 N. 79th Drive, with construction expected to begin in the fall.
