Cutting the ribbon is City of Ventura Mayor Matt LaVere surrounded by people that made it happen.
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held Wednesday, February 20 , for Riverside Street Apartments, a new 23-unit affordable housing community located at 791 Riverside Drive, Ventura. The project was developed by W & J Investments, LLC and built by Judson Builders, Inc. of Ventura.
The community is composed of two- and three- bedroom apartments with an onsite community center featuring computer stations and a large screen TV.
