Ground breaking set for new farmworker homes

By the Herald staff

BASIN CITY -- The Washington Farm Labor Association is planning a ground breaking ceremony for its new farm worker housing at 2 p.m. Wednesday in Basin City.

The Ringold Farmworker Housing is a $3.5 million development providing safe affordable housing for seasonal agricultural workers.

It will consist of six two-bedroom, two-bath duplexes and an onsite manager's residence, serving 96 seasonal agricultural workers. The ceremony will be at Road 170 and Highpoint Road in Basin City.

The project development has been financed by a combination of state and private funding from the state Department of Commerce's Housing Trust Fund and the Washington Community Reinvestment Association. The Washington Farm Labor Association will own and manage the new development.
