“We’ve been talking about 140-70 homes,” said Jamie Maciejewski, Habitat’s executive director. “And that will include apartments, townhomes, duplexes, cottages housing; all the varieties of housing.”

Habitat EJC is hoping to create an entirely new neighborhood in the Port Hadlock area in hopes of addressing the region’s severe lack of housing, particularly for low- and middle-income workers.

The group recently announced contracts with Cap Ex Advisory Group of Baltimore, Md., for financial and strategic planning and Seattle’s Schemata Workshop for architectural work.

“Because this is such a large project, way larger than anything we’ve done, we really need people who have done large projects,” Maciejewski said.
