The following is quoted from the January/February 1986 issue of The Rogue Valley Manor News:
"The Reverend Ross Knotts"
"The project, which is scheduled for completion in August of 1986, is a 50 unit apartment building of subsidized housing for the elderly. It is made possible through a HUD loan and will be separate from the Rogue Valley Manor, yet under the administrative responsibility of the Manor.
The facility is a testament to the dreams of Reverend Ross Knotts. A local Methodist minister, Knotts saw a need for affordable retirement housing over 30 years ago. His vision was a foundation upon which the Rogue Valley Manor was built and now his dream will be completely realized by this new housing complex.
At a reception held immediately after ground breaking ceremonies, Manor Administrator Tom Becker expressed his happiness over progress this center represented. The Reverend Ross Knotts also addressed the 100 people attending, stating his appreciation the facility and what it will mean to the elderly in the area.
Donations are being accepted to defray the cost of equipment and décor, not funded through the HUD loan. The center will consist of 13 studio and 37 one-bedroom apartments."
This facility is known as "The Ross Knotts Center".
