Athens council eases elderly housing project restrictions in Athens
Athens City Council approved changes to the cooperation agreement with the Athens County Metropolitan Housing Authority and to the application for a federal planning loan. The move removes elderly designation from a 100-unit low rent project, hoping HUD approves the preliminary loan. The meeting also considered revised criminal code penalties for shoplifting and larceny, and authorized remodeling funds for City Hall offices and a new water department billing machine.
