(La Porte, IN) - More new housing in La Porte will start going up soon.
Final approval has been given to plans for a 27 lot subdivision in the 400 block of W. 18th St. on the city’s south side.
A single family house is already being constructed there, but the rest of the units in the form of duplexes can start going up now with support for the city, said City Planner Craig Phillips.
Phillips said the project consists of one single family home and 13 duplexes. Final approval was given Tuesday by the city’s Board of Public Works and Safety.
The developer is Steiner Homes, which has offices in Portage and Valparaiso.
Mayor Tom Dermody and his administration are moving aggressively to bring more new housing construction to the city to primarily update an aging housing stock and to attract new residents from other communities.
