MERCY: Representatives of Mercy Housing, Mercy Regional Medical Center and other involved dignitaries held a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday to celebrate the Pinon Terrace affordable rental housing project adjacent to the new hospital in Grandview. Pinon terrace will be built on a 4 acre parcel donated by Mercy and will provide housing for 66 families. Dick Banks is the CEO of Mercy Housing, a national organization founded by Sisters of Mercy, who also founded Durango's hospital of the same name. Banks said most of the families who will live in Pinon Terrace will have annual incomes in the $15,000 range, which is even below the 60 percent of median income required to qualify for affordable housing. Pinion Terrace should be completed by the end of the summer.
