We sought a zoning change on the lot our church is building a Habitat for Humanity house upon last month. We expected a quick and easy decision from the city council, but were disappointed when Councilman Calhoun asked for two weeks to make sure that his constituents wanted the house in the neighborhood. We were even more disappointed when Councilman Calhoun delayed a vote again at the last meeting.
Tonight, Councilman Calhoun was the councilman who made the motion to grant the zoning change. The council voted unanimously in favor of the change. We can break ground immediately and start construction as soon as the slab is complete.
Many thanks to all the members of the council, especially Councilman Calhoun for his leadership. Many thanks also to Frank Litchfield and Carla Surles for their work to make this a reality.
Let's build a house!
