Wallick Celebrates Fenner Ridge Grand Opening
Last Wednesday, Wallick celebrated the grand opening of Fenner Ridge, our newest affordable housing community consisting of 56 one-, two-, and three-bedroom units serving families in Hillsboro, OH. Wallick is the manager, developer and owner of Fenner Ridge.
Several notable guests shared remarks at the event, including:

Rodney Donley, Vice President, National Cooperative Bank (NCB)
One of our new residents, Lacey, closed the program by sharing her story about how Fenner Ridge warmly welcomed her into a community “built for people just like her” in need of safe, secure housing. She officially cut the ribbon to her new home!

Fenner Ridge features several amenities, including a playground contributed by National Cooperative Bank and a Digital Inclusion grant from Ohio Capital Finance Corporation enabling internet access for residents.
This $12.3 million project was made possible by the partnership and support of our amazing community partners, also including Ohio Housing Finance Agency, Ohio Capital Corporation for Housing, Merchants Capital, & the City of Hillsboro.
Additionally, each home has:
- Energy Star-rated appliances and ceiling fans
- Luxury vinyl flooring
- Washer and dryer hookups
- Exterior storage
- A patio or balcony
Our team is always excited to continue our mission of Opening Doors, Opportunities and Hope to those who need it most. Thank you to all who made the opening of Fenner Ridge possible!
