TAKOMA PARK, MD. — The Montgomery Housing Partnership is finishing construction on its $14.5 million Takoma Park Preservation project, consisting of 75 affordable housing units in three Takoma Park apartment complexes. In 2005, residents of these apartments were in danger of being priced out of their homes, so the housing partnership purchased the buildings and outfitted them with new plumbing and electrical systems, new kitchens and bathrooms and energy-efficient features. The newly-renovated Merrimac Gardens, The Crossroads at Flower and Sligo View Apartments opened to residents this month.
