“We are excited to break ground at Monticello Mews, and we are looking forward to bringing the much-needed workforce housing to the market,” Paul Galvin, Chairman and CEO noted. “We feel strongly that this area has seen recent job growth dramatically out-pace housing supply, and we look forward to helping to alleviate the need for housing, and contributing to that the long term economic growth of the community.”
