Herrin Housing Plan Progresses Near CTI Plant
Herrin contractor Fern Lee Cox reaches an agreement with the Herrin Chamber of Commerce to develop a 21-lot housing area near the Central Technology Industries plant. Cox seeks city aid for sewer service and street repairs ahead of proposed homes costing 10 500 to 13 000 dollars. The chamber bought the land, retains room for CTI expansion, and has built the former International Staple Co. building. Streets, sidewalks, and water exist. two 400-foot sewer laterals will be shared by city, chamber, and Cox with city costs to be discussed at Monday council.
