Web Title Agency and partner company Cascade Settlement Agency (“Cascade”) are pleased to announce a merger with Customized Lender’s Services (“CLS”) effective June 18, 2012. This merger preserves the company’s commitment to the Greater Rochester community, with the addition of 10-15 new jobs.

The renovation of Fairport Apartments on Whitney Road is 75 percent complete.

The 104-unit apartment campus, first built in 1972, is being redeveloped to create affordable housing for low to moderate-income seniors.

The complex was first built in 1972 and has been undergoing an approximately $11 million renovation since last year — a project undertaken by the Fairport Baptist Home, Rochester’s Cornerstone Group, and Perinton Churches Housing.

Funding has come from 10 different funding sources and includes state and federal aid. The new suites have their own kitchen, washer and drier, and have better handicap and wheelchair accessibility than the previous facilities.

This is the first time Painting With a Twist has come to the state of New York, and Fairport residents Jon and Lydia Hahn have the challenging, yet exciting task of introducing it to the public

The husband and wife learned about the lively paint workshop franchise last year from a friend who lived near New Orleans. After researching it, they decided to visit one of the stores in Michigan. Before long, they got the OK to open a store in their hometown.

They signed the lease at the vacant site of the former Sleep Cheap store on Fairport Road and started renovating the space in November 2011.

Ironically enough, one of their first projects was covering blue walls with paint. Now, the walls are a bright yellow with red and black accents, although the owners sometimes see traces of the old color peeking through.

“The blue rears its ugly head every once in a while,” said Jon, with a chuckle. “We’re still finding it.”
