The project, called Maritime Lofts, will bring much-needed housing to an area that has struggled with low vacancy rates and limited affordable options.
"There is a low vacancy rate, which means there's not enough housing stock across the spectrum from low-income to higher-income housing opportunities," Homb said. "From my perspective and the work we do, low-income housing, which is not quite workforce affordable, is a huge need," Homb said. 
For many in Manitowoc, the site carries deep personal and historical significance. Mirro Aluminum Company was founded in 1909 and helped define industry along the lakeshore for generations.
