The Grand Reopening of Cuba City Apartments and Summit Apartments

WMC is proud to bring more rural affordable housing into the future! This summer, we celebrated the grand re-opening of Cuba City Apartments in Cuba City and Summit Apartments in Barneveld!⁠ We were honored to have Julie Lassa – USDA Wisconsin Rural Development State Director, Fernando Escobar – Commercial Lending Officer at WHEDA, Russ Kaney – WI-CARH President, Chris Jillings – Senior VP of Business Development at Cinnaire, and John Van De Wiel – Mayor of Cuba City, join us to celebrate the work that was completed in both communities.

In the links below, we share the changes we made, what it means to our residents, and why affordable housing is so important in our rural communities.

Through the support of our many partners, we were able to accomplish all of these renovations at both properties: ⁠

• New roofs, gutters, soffit, fascia, sidewalks, and parking lots
• New lighting, ceiling fans, appliances, microwaves, cabinets/countertops, plumbing fixtures, doors, trim, hardware, and flooring⁠
• The addition of two Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) units and six Universal Design Units⁠
• A new ADA accessible community room and bathroom, and updated laundry areas⁠
• An additional television tower for free over-the-air television for all apartment homes and the community room⁠
• Free wireless internet to all apartment homes⁠

It's exciting to see these communities get a new lease on life and the residents who live in them a "new" home! Thank you to all who were involved.
