Integra also is acquiring property farther north in the Florida Keys in Islamorada, where the company plans to propose construction of 41 affordable housing units.

Integra expects to participate in an initiative to provide more affordable housing in the Florida Keys that Gov. Rick Scott recently announced.

The initiative will result in the issuance of as many as 1,300 new building permits for affordable housing throughout the Florida Keys. [GlobeSt.com] – Mike Seemuth
