Trumbull commissioners to approve bonds for housing complex renovations

WARREN — The Hampshire House apartments on Fifth Street Southwest, a housing complex that has seen its share of violent activity, is likely to become safer and nicer when a $6.5 million renovation is complete sometime next year.

David B. Orlean, owner of the Orlean Co. of Beachwood, told Trumbull County commissioners today the project will result in improvements averaging around $25,000 for each of the 150 apartments.

County commissioners are expected to approve a measure at their meeting Wednesday to issue Housing Revenue Bonds that would allow the Orlean Co. to secure low-interest financing and federal tax credits to pay for the renovations.
