Renovations are underway at the historic Kingston Rectory on Main Street in Mathews, with a second round of fundraising launched to convert the building into two workforce apartments. Six community donors are offering to match $50,000 in new contributions. The project addresses a local housing shortage affecting teachers, first responders, and other essential workers. So far, $181,000 of the $360,000 goal has been raised. Donations can be made through the Mathews Community Foundation or online at http://www.kingstonhousinginitiative.com.
