Mechanicsburg, Pa., with a population of approximately 9,000, is located in Cumberland County roughly eight miles west of Harrisburg, Pa.

Commenting about the financing,. Brundage said, “The owners decided to utilize the HUD 232 program to take advantage of the 35-year fixed-rate term and amortization, below-market interest rates, and the non-recourse nature of the program.”

The community contains 79 units for residents in 48,000 square feet and was built in 1968, with a major renovation in 1996.
