Demopolis officials took two steps to increase the supply of housing in the River City this week.
The Demopolis Planning Commission approved the city's first Planned Unit Development at a special called meeting on Sept. 15.
The townhouse development will provide 21 rental units on Maria Avenue in Demopolis. The townhouses will be “upscale” homes of two and three bedrooms.
the Demopolis City Council voted at their Sept. 17 meeting to rezone property just east of the Vowell's grocery store on Highway 80.
Cindy and Todd talk about the housing issues in this segment of the Black Belt Newscast.
