Development to Bring Affordable Townhomes to Virginia
Standard Communities has broken ground on a development that will bring 234 affordable townhomes to Richmond, Virginia. “My mom was a public high school teacher in Virginia, and growing up I often heard about the students in her class who were struggling,” said Joe Ouellette, chief operating officer of Standard Communities. “More often than not, the reason wasn’t the classroom at all. It was instability at home. When families can count on a quality home they can afford, kids can make the most of their education, and that opens doors for the rest of their lives. I’m excited that Joyfield Towns will give more Richmond families the opportunity to not just get by, but to thrive.”
