Commissioners approved the financing of a new senior apartment housing project in the Wells Branch community Oct. 14.

Affinity at Wells Branch is a proposed 154-unit active adult community on 8.2 acres at 14508 Owen Tech Blvd.

If built the project will also have a fitness center, a saltwater pool and spa, a workshop and a covered patio.

The Public Finance Authority of Wisconsin, which is financing the project, plans to issue $21,775,000 in revenue bonds to build the project.

The authority needed Travis County's permission to issue the bonds for the project. The county has no financial stake or liability in the project, according to county documents.
