New senior housing coming to Farmington
 The Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) will officially kickoff the construction of Vermillion River Crossing, a new senior housing development in Farmington, on Wednesday, May 4. The groundbreaking celebration will begin at 3 p.m.
Vermillion River Crossing will have 66 apartment units including 32 one-bedrooms and 34 two-bedrooms. Sixty of the units will have fixed rents (currently $558 for a one-bedroom and $682 for a two-bedroom); six of the two-bedroom apartments will be market-rate ($895 per month). Income limits for the fixed rent units are $45,100 for a one-person household and $51,550 for a two person household. There are no income limits for the market rate units.
The public is invited to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony which will be held at the site where Vermillion River Crossing will be constructed on Duschane Parkway, south of County Road 50 and west of Denmark Avenue close to the Farmington Family Health Clinic.
Building features include: underground heated parking, community room with kitchen, fitness room, club room and screened porch. Individual units will feature: ceiling fans, microwaves, stove, refrigerator, air conditioning and emergency response systems. Additionally, Vermillion River Crossing will be entirely smoke-free meaning that smoking will not be permitted anywhere inside the building including inside individual apartments or on the grounds outside of the building.
Vermillion River Crossing is part of the Dakota County CDA’s Senior Housing Program which provides seniors age 55+ with affordable, independent living housing. It is the CDA’s first building in Farmington and 25th overall in the county. Construction on the 77,020 square foot building is expected to be completed by summer 2012. The cost to construct the building is $6.5 million.
All applications received for Vermillion River Crossing by June 30, 2011 will be randomly drawn for placement on the building’s interested list. After that, applicants will be placed on the list at the time the application is received by the CDA. Verification of applicants will begin in fall 2011.
