A new affordable and supportive housing development is one step closer to welcoming residents in Highbridge.

A topping off ceremony was held for the Ogden Theater Apartments, a seven-story building on 1415 Ogden Avenue where a movie theater, bowling alley and church once stood.

The celebration marked the placement of the building's final beam.

The new housing development created over 230 construction jobs and nearly 100 permanent positions when the building opens.
