Local affordable housing developers will build a combination of housing types on the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs Pioneers, our centuries-long commitment to achieving excellence has been guided by these core values: integrity, innovation, diversity, community and perseverance,\u201d said President Brien Lewis. \u201cWe are proud of the role Transylvania plays as a part of the Lexington community and how this project gives us the opportunity to be part of a visionary solution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch today&#8217;s press conference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Transylvania University makes affordable housing development possible\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Dg2cvrhRu7s?feature=oembed&rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-it-works\"><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The banking group \u2014 currently including Central Bank, Community Trust Bank, Republic Bank &amp; Trust, Stock Yards Bank and Traditional Bank \u2014 has established a $3 million revolving capital fund to support affordable housing development. As the project gets underway, developers repay the fund interest free, allowing for reinvestment in future affordable housing projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transylvania considered multiple offers for the Marquard Field property but opted to sell the site to the mission-driven group for the reduced price of $2.8 million, making the initial development possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are proud that this group of private entities from business, education and nonprofit sectors have come together to address a real need in our community,\u201d said Luther Deaton, chairman\/president and CEO of Central Bank &amp; Trust Co. \u201cWe believe the model that we have created can and should be replicated in communities across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lexington affordable housing developers collaborating on the project include AU Associates, Habitat for Humanity, Urban League of Lexington and Winterwood.
