Trying something new

Ted Piccolo walks on a concrete pad outside the master beadroom of a new house in Elmer City just built on speculation by the Northwest Native Development Fund in an effort to affect the local housing market, which he says isn't supplying housing in a price range that young professionals can afford. Piccolo is NNDF's executive director. The 1,500-square-foot house is not quite finished, but Piccolo expects the price be quite competitive in the local market. - Scott Hunter photo
