The Meadows in Darlington, a first-of-its-kind farm worker housing project, is done with construction and welcoming tenants. The 32-unit development and the Darlington community can also look forward to a Head Start classroom and health clinic to come next door, thanks to more than $1.5 million secured by the Southwest Wisconsin Community Action Program. SWCAP partnered with Cinnaire Community Development on this farm worker housing. The requirement to live at The Meadows is that 40 percent of the household income must be from agriculture, for example, working on farms or cheese plants. Wally Orzechowski is the executive director of SWCAP – he gives Mid-West Farm Report an update on how The Meadows is coming along.
