Officials on Monday held a groundbreaking for the Gateway Palms Apartments, a community of affordable new apartments in Hollister developed by local nonprofit South County Housing.
The ceremony began at 3:30 p.m. at Fourth Street and Westside Boulevard. Speakers included representatives from South County, the Hollister City Council, Community Services Development Corp., Congressman Sam Farr’s office, representatives from the local state assembly and senate offices, and Community Services & Workforce Development.
The city’s redevelopment agency is contributing $3.6 million of the estimated $6 million cost for the 32 units. The builder expects construction to last around eight months, depending on cooperation from the weather, said Bill Avera, head of development services for Hollister.
