People Inc. and a team of developers will start work next week on the construction of an 84-unit, mixed-income apartment project on Jefferson Avenue.

The apartments at 1162 Jefferson Ave. will feature two buildings with 66 one-bedroom units and 18 two-bedroom apartments, aimed at families with incomes ranging between 30 percent and 130 percent of the area’s median income. Up to 16 units may be reserved for people with developmental disabilities who can still live independently.
