Following a massive fire at the Madonna House at Belmont senior apartments on May 16, Fredericksburg officials said 25 units would require several months of renovations before being reoccupied.

The City's Fire Marshals and Building Inspectors have been assisting the Madonna House Property Management with plans for a phased reopening of the 46 other less damaged apartments to expedite plans and return residents to these 46 apartments as soon as possible.
