Aldermen Raise Concern Over Hathaway Houses

Two Taylorville Alderman are very concerned about the new Hathaway houses that will be built in Taylorville. On Monday evening it was announced in open forum, that there would be new housing being built. Aldermen Chris Skultety and Lee Lanzotti spoke with Regional Radio News. While neither man wanted to have their statements recorded, they told Regional Radio News, that the Aldermen have been told by multiple people that they do not like the low-income housing and don’t want it in Taylorville. Both Aldermen encouraged their constituents if they have a question, comment, or concern to please bring it up either to them in a phone call, or to come to the City Council meetings that are held at the Municipal Building every 1st and 3rd Monday of the month. Both Aldermen are concerned that too many people will misuse the system and the housing will not go to the people it’s designed to help. When asked for comment, Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry says that he is still in full support of this project and feels it will be great for Taylorville.

 

The housing project has just been started. Mayor Barry feels that it will not be completed for at least another year maybe two.
