Legacy Place Apartments to Host Open Houses Feb. 14

2/3/2022

 
Legacy Place Apartments have become a symbol of history and community in Champaign County. After years of planning and partnerships, work on all three locations began in the fall of 2020. With a goal of creating affordable, senior housing, the former Douglas Hotel along with the former North and South Elementary Schools were transformed into beautiful apartments for individuals 55 and older, with six units devoted to those with developmental disabilities.
With Legacy Place South already at full capacity, it is obvious that this opportunity was vital for the seniors in our community. Rich Ebert, Champaign Economic Partnership's new Executive Director shared his excitement recently saying, "Seeing lights on at Legacy Place in Urbana's Downtown warms my heart. The transformation of all three buildings has been amazing. The impact of this project on our community will be felt for many years to come. In all three building, the apartments are large and comfortable as well as cozy and clean. Residents coming to live in these apartments will be thrilled with the amenities and features along with the unique setting each is in. After touring the buildings, I've been most impressed with the attention to detail by the builders and designers. it will be an absolute asset to our greater community for years to come!"

Legacy Place Apartments will be hosting Open Houses at all 3 locations on Monday, February 14th from 1:00pm until 6:00pm.

Breads of the Harvest is a popular fall 4-H School Enrichment program that makes a loaf of bread with every third grader at Graham Elementary School and every fifth grader at Urbana Elementary School. This year, however, they were excited to grow the program to two additional classrooms and incorporate a community service project along with it.

Students in Mrs. Lori Ferryman’s Junior High Intervention Classroom and Mrs. Jennifer Heminger’s High School Intervention Classroom at Urbana not only made themselves a loaf of bread, but they also donated a loaf they made to a local senior housing community.
Picture
Together, in cooperation with the Champaign County Extension office, they were able to donate a fresh loaf of homemade bread to all twenty-five residents for their Thanksgiving meal(s). In addition to the bread, students also hand sewed fleece hats for each of the residents.

The Champaign County 4-H School Enrichment program is open to all five county school districts and includes programs such as Chick Quest, Breads of the Harvest, Go Plants, Rockets Away, Fishy Science, and The STEAM Classroom Challenges. For more information, please contact Kiley Horn at horn.217@osu.edu or 937-772-6013.
