Senior Housing Facility to be Dedicated to Councilman's Mother
A ceremony will be held Tuesday to dedicate the Aldene Kline Barlow Senior Apartments at 1327 H Street.
The event begins at 10 a.m. and will be hosted by Councilman Ricki Barlow, whose mother is the namesake of the apartments.
The new three-story apartment building is named to honor Barlow’s mother, who died at the location in a car accident. It is age-restricted and rented to seniors with household incomes less than 80 percent of area median income.
More than $6 million for construction came from the city of Las Vegas, provided by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and Redevelopment Affordable Housing Set Aside funds.
“My family and I are deeply moved that mother is being honored and remembered in this way,” Councilman Barlow said. “Like all of us, she cared deeply about our community and the welfare of our seniors. She would be proud that a fine building that will be home to so many carries her name.”
