Fairfax County plans to overhaul and preserve deteriorating apartments in Reston.
The Cedar Ridge apartment complex, which provides 198 subsidized housing units to its tenants, has not seen any major rehabilitation since it was constructed in 1970.
Housing officials have identified about $4.6 million in needed interior and exterior improvements.
The Board of Supervisors will weigh on Monday whether to issue bonds for the project. The property was acquired in 1995 by the Housing Authority, which plans to finance the revamp through a federal tax credit program and the sale of bonds.
“The current residents of Cedar Ridge will stay in place [during the project], and the rehabilitation efforts will benefit them and future residents of the property,” housing department spokeswoman Kristina M. Norvell said.
The bonds would be issued late this year, under the current timeline. The project is part of Fairfax County’s larger effort to preserve 1,000 units of existing affordable housing by the end of 2007.
As of June, 882 units have been preserved, according to a staff report.
