Grand Island Area Habitat for Humanity says it is “thrilled” to announce the acquisition of four pieces of land in the city of Aurora.
“This expansion is a part of the Board of Director’s Strategic Plan to expand our programming into all four counties within our service area,” according to a news release. “The purchase in Aurora is the first step towards the goal of consistently building in Hamilton, Merrick, Howard and Hall counties.”
The organization says it is “thankful to Mike and Beverly Nolan for presenting Habitat with the opportunity to purchase these lots only one week after adoption of the strategic plan. You both were the answer to our prayers.”
Habitat houses will be built on the lots over the next several years, with applications for the Home Loan Program opening in December of this year. Construction is expected to begin in 2025.
