The effort is spearheaded by the Reverend James Coston of the First Baptist Church of Trenton and has involved representatives of the Mill Hill Community Association and others. John Ungrady, South Ward Councilman, has reported an offer of donated property at 61 Jersey Street. The South Trenton Project will function as a sub-chapter of Trenton Habitat, providing its own funding, volunteers, and construction coordination.
Construction is underway on four houses on North Clinton Avenue.
Janssen Pharmaceutica is sponsoring one house, and Janssen employees have started working on their house. The other three houses are being sponsored by Horizon Mercy Health Care, The Times Christmas Appeal, and Integrated Financial Services. Completion of these houses is targeted for May 2000.
