Councilman David Marks said today: I am happy to report that the Baltimore County Council passed last night a financing package [$4.55 million] that will help St. Ambrose Housing Aid Center rehabilitate the historic Aigburth Vale property north of Towson High School.
The renovation work will include updating the apartments, and upgrading the roof, the heating and air conditioning system, boiler and parking lot. Solar panels will be added, and there will be upgrades to common areas and exterior porches. Since the property is fully occupied, the owner will use an in-place rehabilitation approach to complete the renovation work. There will be no relocation of residents. The project should be finished by the end of 2017.
I am delighted that this historic mansion, home to 70 seniors in Towson, will be rehabilitated in a manner that preserves the charm and beauty of this distinctive landmark.
