GREAT NEWS!

Hospitality Apartments has a building permit from the City of Houston! After months of planning, tweaking, following up, praying, being frustrated etc., we have it! The power and communications lines that were remaining even after the poles were moved are gone. The replatting of the property to include the utility easement has been done. The refigured construction contract (due to the delay, the bid was refigured) has been signed. Hurray, hurray!

As soon as there is something to take a picture of, weekly pictures of construction progress will be posted. But for today, the construction committee is ecstatic that the permit is in hand!
