COLUMBUS, Ind. — A project creating an affordable assisted-living community that will rise above the State Street corridor where the Bartholomew County Annex building used to be is officially underway.
The four-story Vivera Senior Living of Columbus is going up on the 2.37-acre vacant lot near State and Mapleton streets, where the State Street School was originally constructed in 1928. Nearly 30 people attended a ground-breaking ceremony Thursday afternoon at the construction site, which has been a vacant lot since late 2015.
Apartments in the 84,500-square-foot building, which will include 52 efficiency units and 62 one-bedroom units, will be unique in Bartholomew County, said Robin Hilber, Columbus community development programs coordinator.
