On Tuesday, Mayor Kamal Johnson held a public hearing on the law passed by the Common Council which would amend the code to permit the creation of ADUs (accessory dwelling units) in all of the city's zoning districts. Presumably, after that public hearing, the mayor signed the legislation.
That same day, City Hall shared the news about RUPCO's current Columbia County Plus One ADU program, which offers grants of up to $112,500 to help eligible Columbia County homeowners create a code-compliant ADU.
To qualify for a grant, applicants must:
- own and live in the Columbia County property where the ADU will be built;
- demonstrate that the ADU project would not be financially possible without the grant;
- be open to exploring other funding or financing if the cost of the project exceeds $112,500;
- have a household income that falls below the established limits (for a two-person household, the limit is $108,200).
Excellent News!
