Ribbon cut on first ‘Maggie House’

Land Trust showcases property

Maggie Whitcomb, founder of Florida Keys Land Trust, cut the ribbon of the first of many affordable rental properties in the Lower Keys with the help of partnerships throughout the community and her dedicated friends. After seeing the devastation of Hurricane Irma, the trust purchased property with the intent of replacing workforce rental housing in the area. Four more “Maggie houses,” as they have become affectionately dubbed, are almost complete. Pre-application and more information on the trust can be found at affordablekeys.org.
