DePaul’s new $11.5 million Packet Boat Landing Apartments recently celebrated its grand opening in Lockport, NY. Named for the barges that stopped there during the Erie Canal’s heyday, Packet Boat Landing will help adults in need of supportive services live independently.
The three-story, 62,000 square-foot affordable housing development features 60 new one-bedroom units, along with management and support service offices, and lounges and laundry rooms on each level. The project also features a community room that opens to a courtyard with walking paths and a unique rain garden, which functions as the storm water management system.
