(KEYC) - After years of preparation, the first step in rejuvenating Good Counsel in Mankato is finally underway.The Good Counsel Meadow sits at the bottom of the hill right across from Tourtellotte Park, and has gone undeveloped since the School Sisters moved in more than a century go.That’s now changed, as ground has broken on eight working-class homes that are expected to finish by the end of the year, building onto the existing neighborhood and hoping to make home ownership a little more accessible.“People want to own their own home, that’s the American dream, and so this is an opportunity for people that maybe thought they could never own their own home to attain that and build wealth and have stability for their families and their children, as well as enjoy a lovely neighborhood,” said Jen Theneman with the Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership.The School Sisters of Notre Dame announced their departure from Good Counsel back in 2022, and it took more than three years to find an appropriate buyer.The group eventually landed on the Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership, whose plans for the property included many projects just like this one.“To partner with Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership has been a blessing. And to see affordable housing is, it’s an urgent need and that’s what we’ve always tried to respond to is urgent needs and it’s just so exciting to see it come to fruition,” said Sister Mary Kay Brooks at the groundbreaking.Work on building on top of the hill is planned to begin by the end of the summer, and the total redevelopment of Good Counsel will be a years-long endeavor.</div></body>
