(RECAP: Up to $20 million could be pumped into residential housing projects in Marion by 2018 with the town seeing the greatest housing development since the 1980s and perhaps even since the post-World War II boom. That potential comes as encouragement to Marion officials who see housing needs as one of the most critical issues facing the community. Marion Redevelopment and Housing Authority executive director Charlie Harrington presented the first stages of a project to help address housing. He was asking the council to give its OK to the authority’s plan to form a non-profit LLC to seek grants to do an in-depth marketing survey and eventually develop a new housing complex featuring one-, two- and three-bedroom units to serve mixed-income residents, generally falling at 80 to 100 percent of low to moderate income levels based on Smyth County’s median income of $48,000. The council gave its approval to forming the non-profit LLC as a subset of the housing authority. The project is in early stages, still researching funding and site options.)
