(KAIT) - The city of Paragould voted to amend a zoning ordinance to allow the construction of 24 units for residents ages 55 and older.Developer and builder Keith White said the units will be called the Village Creek Trails and will consist of 12 duplexes with 24 units near Greene 721.The duplexes will have walk-in showers and three-foot doorways for better wheelchair access. White said it’s all about making sure people can live comfortably.“People that are willing to age in place, they have to think about things like, what if they need assistance with a wheelchair, a walker? They don’t need two steps going into their house, their condo, their apartment,” White said.The units will be between 1,350 and 1,400 square feet.Linda Cooper and Bonnie Read live in Paragould and said they know the struggles people face as they age.“Well, people get to where they can’t climb stairs ... we’re not 30 years old anymore, so we need something more convenient,” Cooper and Read said.White said affordability was also on his mind. When a senior needs to move out of homes they can’t live in, finding another home isn’t cheap.“And they can’t go out and spend $400,000 on a house. And so, this will be an alternative. Anytime you have a condo and you’re sharing a lot, then the cost drops,” White said.White said the need for housing for seniors is growing and he wants to be a part of the solution.White said construction will hopefully begin in the fall.To report a typo or correction, please click here.</div></body>
