Historic Valdese Weavers Mill Project

An old mill in Valdese soon will be renovated into an apartment complex with workforce pricing. Dogwood Health Trust announced in a press release that it awarded a $2 million grant to Northwestern Housing Enterprises to help transform the Historic Valdese Weavers Mill along Main and Praley streets in downtown Valdese into a 60-unit rental housing development. The proposed project, with an estimated price tag of $12.3 million, will see the mill transformed into 60 apartments with lofted ceilings, refinished wood floors and large windows. Other funding for the project will come in from the Low Income Tax Credit and state and federal historic/mill tax credit equity, the press release said.
