Senior housing project breaks ground in Schuylkill County

The land where a church and rectory once stood is being developed in Frackville.

FRACKVILLE, Pa. — The ground was broken on a new senior housing complex along North Nice Street in Frackville.

Frackville Flats Senior Housing will include 30 apartments for people 65 and older.

"Makes me feel great, and basically, my father had a business down there for 50 years, so it's a nice feeling," said Craig Shields, principal owner.

The developer says the Northumberland County Housing Authority will manage the facility.

Construction is expected to be finished in October of next year.
