 Prominence Senior Village, Canton, Cherokee County

 Prominence Senior Village is a proposed 75 unit senior housing development for head of household sixty-two and older and will compete in the Flexible Pool.  Prominence Senior Village will be located in Canton, Cherokee County, Georgia. 

 The property is located off Prominence Point Parkway, part of parcel # 15N13 008. 

 We believe that the development of Prominence Senior Village will provide quality affordable housing to the senior residents of Cherokee County. Not only will Prominence Senior Village provide the needed housing and economic boost, but it will provide it in the most beneficial and desirable location. 

 There are a multitude of shopping and dining opportunities for the residents within a mile of Prominence Senior Village.

 Prominence Senior Village will consist of one three-story building with an elevator. As stated previously, our residents will be head of household sixty-two and older and Prominence Senior Village will have other amenities geared towards an aging population, such as: 
• a community room for community events, 
• a fitness center with low impact exercise equipment appropriate for an aging population, 
• a fully equipped computer center, 
• a centralized laundry facility, 
• a covered pavilion with a bbq area, 
• a fenced community garden, 
• a covered patio and sitting areas throughout the interior common space of the building for our residents to rest and socialize.

 Furthermore, Prominence Senior Village will obtain Ten (10) additional points over minimum in the Enterprise Foundation Green Communities certification program (following Enterprise Green Communities protocol under the guidance of an Enterprise Qualified TA provider). 

 -This will ensure that the property is developed in a sustainable manner and will extend the useful life of the development beyond what would be expected without the Green Communities Certification. This will furthermore ensure that the residents of Prominence Senior Village are afforded a more enjoyable and sustainable environment in which to live.

 -There is a need for affordable senior housing in Cherokee County that is widely recognized in the community. Tim Morris, Director of Cherokee County Senior Services, recently stated in an article in the Cherokee Tribune & Ledger-News,
“The problem I find is there is not nearly enough housing for seniors that are based on their income. We get more calls from seniors and family looking for a place that is affordable. This will be a problem in the future with the growth. We have a lot of seniors living on very low income”. 

 The development of Prominence Senior Village will increase the inventory of affordable senior housing that is very much needed in Cherokee County.

 -In conclusion, Prominence Senior Village will be financed with equity from Affordable Equity Partners, a construction and perm loan from Lancaster Pollard which will be a FHA insured loan through the 221(d)(4) program and a construction loan from Sterling Bank. 

 Affordable Equity Partners, Lancaster Pollard, HUD and Sterling Bank believe that investing in Prominence Senior Village is a sound decision, both from a financial and sociological perspective.
