Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield, in the 14th Congressional District, which includes McHenry County and six other counties.

CHICAGO – A planned apartment complex in Cary now has the necessary tax credits to make the project financially feasible. The Illinois Housing Development Authority on Friday approved 1,084,963 low-income housing tax credits to Pedcor Investments to build the Garden Place Apartments at First and Pearl streets. Carmel, Indiana-based Pedcor Investments plans to build a 60-unit apartment complex with one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments spread out in six low-rise buildings on a vacant 4.5-acre lot. To make the $18 million project feasible, Pedcor requested more than 1 million in low-income housing tax credits in return for restricting rents and income of tenants in the complex for 15 years. Mike Smith, senior vice president of development for Pedcor, said the company will begin to line up buyers for its tax credits and said there are financial institutions already interested. Work on the project is expected to begin in the spring, depending on the weather, Smith said. The first building would open five to six months after construction begins, with additional buildings opening every month afterward. The IHDA program administers federal tax credits. To receive the credits, Pedcor would have to primarily serve residents who make 60 percent of the area median income or
