LEWISTON — Construction workers Wednesday put the finishing touches on the multiunit Wedgewood housing project between Pine and Walnut streets in the downtown.

According to Lewiston Housing Authority Executive Director Chris Kilmurry, “Five buildings containing 45 units are completed with 39 units currently occupied, and are currently processing applications for the vacant units.
