CITIES BENEFIT FROM USING
THE ARTS AS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOL
Realtor Doug Moe, of Keller Williams Realty, has been selling homes and taken an active role in the Ventura community since 1976. Charged with selling the market rate, solar-powered, double-floor, loft condominiums at WAV, he is a huge supporter of the diverse development.
"When I really found out exactly what was going on at WAV, I thought `man, somebody did something great to get Ventura this fabulous project to completion in this economy,'" Moe said. "There were 800 applicants for the 54 units of artist housing -- that tells you how popular this is."
"This is very important to the residents of Ventura -- we see what's going on with the environment., we want a higher quality of living," he continued. "WAV addresses so many issues important to us -- affordable housing, having different segments of society living here. WAV also demonstrates that you can build affordable housing that is LEED certified and that you can build a mixed income gem like this without the city pouring money into it."
