Developer Gerry Wieler, left, and Dauphin Church of Christ Community Minister Wayne Olson, second from right, show off one of the new affordable housing units for rent on the Parkland Crossing grounds.

The development includes four units which each measure 625 square feet and rent for $825 per month, including heat and water. The building utilized state-of-the-art construction materials and techniques, with the modular and walls and shed-style roof made up of five inches of foam insulation sandwiched between two pieces of sheet metal. Plans are to construct three more of the four-suite units, as well as two fourplexes of bachelor suites once funding is secured.

Parkland Crossing executive director Jamie Harvey said the project would have never gotten off the ground if it were not for $420,000 of funding provided to the project by the City of Dauphin.
