ORLANDO, Fla. --- Ashton Woods Homes reported it is offering an $8,000 Ashton Woods Homes stimulus grant to all new home buyers in the Orlando and Tampa Bay regions.

“We announced our stimulus grant because a number of home buyers are worried their homes won’t be completed in time to qualify for the $8,000 U.S. tax credit,” Roche said.
“In addition, the federal tax credit only applies to new home buyers. The $8,000 Ashton Woods Homes stimulus grant applies to all home buyers,” he said.
Ashton Woods Homes builds single-family homes and town homes in seven Orlando-area communities and six in the Tampa Bay region.
