Bloomsburg Silk Mills Site Project
Developed on an abandoned industrial complex, Bloom Mills Apartments provides 140 low cost units to seniors and more importantly, a comfortable living environment with a sense of community for it’s residents.
History
The Silk Mills industrial complex had been abandoned for years. There was a serious need for low cost senior housing. CSG saw an opportunity to revitalize the area and provide a great service to the area residents.
