Remainder of Project Is Delayed Housing Units Expanded
Six of the citys planned 17 emergency housing units are now due for completion by October 15 and ready for occupancy.

The 34 housing units are part of the citys request for 50, with 17 buildings moved from Marion last summer under a Federal Public Housing Authority program.
