Chestnut Commons

(Community Matters) Yesterday evening, I joined Amanda Chiampi, Michael Kellerman, Craig Davis, Patricia Buchholtz and other residents of Chestnut Commons for a residents block party/dinner celebrating the opening of the third and final phase. These single family units built condo style on the former Featherlite tract have attracted a very cool, crowd of overwhelmingly 20- & 30-something nonprofit professionals, state workers, marketers, UT staff members and other young professionals. And, it is creating a fund of over $1mm for affordable housing projects in Central East Austin. (hmm, I had a picture of the 50+ folks under the tent having dinner. I shouldn’t delete after emailing to myself.)
