Beaverton has made progress toward the city's first project that will receive a share of the Metro regional housing bond approved last year.

The Mary Ann Apartments won approval from the Oregon Housing Stability Council as one of 11 projects in Oregon to get a federal tax credit for low-income housing. The credit is $1.2 million for the 54-unit project, planned at the northwest corner of Southwest Main Avenue and 2nd Street.
