Fayetteville Housing Authority's Morgan Manor Expansion to go on as Planned

The Fayetteville City Council voted 5 to 2 Tuesday evening to deny the appeal of the Planning Commission's August approval of the expansion of Morgan Manor, which is one of four low-income housing developments run by the Fayetteville Housing Authority. The FHA requested the approval of a large-scale development at Morgan Manor so the agency could move residents from another low-income housing development called Willow Heights into the new apartments that will be built at Morgan Manor. Council Member Sarah Marsh for Ward 1 appealed the Planning Commission's decision on the grounds that the expansion will create or compound a dangerous traffic situation.
