THE GRAND OPENING OF APTOS BLUE, AN AFFORDABLE APARTMENT COMPLEX IN APTOS, WAS HELD TODAY (WEDNESDAY). STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS WERE ON-HAND AT THE APTOS RANCHO ROAD EVENT. APTOS BLUE INCLUDES 40 AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOMES FOR LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES, AS WELL AS A COMMUNITY GARDEN AND BARBECUE AREA AND A CHILDRENS’ PLAY AREA. THE HISTORIC CASTRO HOUSE HAS BEEN RENOVATED AND IS NOW A COMMUNITY BUILDING FOR APTOS BLUE RESIDENTS, AND NOW INCLUDES OFFICE SPACE, A MEETING ROOM, A COMMON KITCHEN, AND AN AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM CLASSROOM (COMPLETE WITH A COMPUTER LAB). APTOS BLUE RESIDENTS WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO TAKE CLASSES AT THE CASTRO HOUSE. SOME OF THOSE INCLUDE COMPUTER LAB ASSISTANCE, FINANCIAL LITERACY CLASSES, AND HEALTH & WELLNESS PROGRAMS.
