# Area Plan Commission recommends rezoning for an 80-unit affordable senior apartment complex on Margaret Avenue

## What happened
TWG Development asked the commission to rezone three parcels near the northwest corner of Arlith Street and Margaret Avenue — two from R1 (single-family) to R3 (general residence, allows apartments) and one from C2 (community commerce) to R3 — to build Margaret Senior, an 80-unit affordable apartment complex for residents 55 and older with 153 on-site parking spaces.

The project depends on a state tax-credit application TWG submitted in July; the developer said the state should respond by early October, funding decisions come in November, and — if awarded — construction would run from around June 2027 to late 2028 or early 2029.

Asked whether TWG would also seek a tax abatement (a temporary reduction in property taxes) beyond the state funding, the developer said one might be requested later. ([1:02:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUWhJle6oNE&t=3725))

## The outcome
The commission recommended the rezoning to Terre Haute City Council on a voice vote; the council still has to act. ([1:02:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUWhJle6oNE&t=3746))
