Arguments on the zoning variance for a 50 unit housing project on South Center Street Hill were heard in State Superior Court for a second time after objections to the variance granted by the City Zoning Board of Adjustment.

A ruling may take months as the matter awaits a higher court decision. The Housing Committee of the Corry Area Industrial Development Corporation has submitted data to HUD in Washington for federal funding, with a moratorium noted on further action.
