Re: Buffalo Ridge Apartments
Discussion:
This resolution of the Housing Authority of the Town of Avon provides that it agrees to serve as a
special limited partner for the Buffalo Ridge Apartments being funded through private activity bonds.
This limited partnership resolution is needed in order to exempt the 176 multifamily residential low
income housing project from real property taxation pursuant to State Statutes:
29-4-226 Exemption from Special Assessments
29-4-227 Tax Exemptions
The property tax exemption is the only purpose of this resolution, and does not otherwise obligate the
Avon Housing Authority.
