FORMER FORT CUMBERLAND HOMES RENOVATION COMPLETED

Renovation of the former Fort Cumberland Homes property is now complete. Renamed River Bend Court, the housing facility is located between Lamont Street and Oldtown Road. The complex was originally built in 1962, and, according to the Cumberland Times-News, the units had deteriorated and were in poor condition. Renovations included new plumbing, electrical, heating, walls, insulation, ceilings, windows and doors. The next project will be the John F. Kennedy Homes on Mechanic Street. That may get underway in late 2022.
