Modular homes will meet foundations today as the Seneca Place project takes shape in Covington's Austinburg neighborhood.

The Center for Great Neighborhoods of Covington will hold a special presentation at 9 AM as two new modular homes are built at 522 and 524 Thomas Street.

Work will continue all day as sections of the homes are lifted by crane and attached to their foundations.

Refreshments will be served at the Kentucky Livery, Thomas Street and Oakland Avenue.

The homes are part of 12 planned for the development. All will have three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, a full basement and off-street parking. Both of the models offered are Energy Star rated.

This is the first new construction in Austinburg in decades and it is hoped that they will help boost the neighborhood's relatively low homeownership rate.

Project partners include the City of Covington, LISC, Phoenix Building Solutions, Superior Walls and Huff Realty.

Thanks to Mike at CityKin, who posted about this project last week.
