Disney To Build Affordable Homes Near Orlando Theme Park

MIAMI (CBSMiami) - The house of mouse is offering housing help.

Disney is planning to build affordable homes near its Orlando theme park.

The company released a new rendering of what the community would look like. It is set to have 1,300 units.

Though Disney hasn't yet released how much it might cost to live there, Orange County comptroller Phil Diamond is calling it a win-win and said it could be a good sign for residents in the area.

"If you can solve the affordable housing issue, you're going to help solve connecting good workers and good organizations - and when you have that happen, that's just good for the economy."

The units will be for the general public and Disney cast members.

Disney has not yet announced when construction will start.
