Madison Park

I saw that there was a "rezoning" post on the website-but does anyone know the status of the Woodlawn Place apartments in regards to when they might begin construction?

I will assume that financing problems have affected this project as well as many others but simply leaving a fence up around the area with boarded up doors and windows looks horrible.  I never thought I would say it-but it was better off the way it was.

I've tried googling the company and property but have come up with relatively little information.

Thanks

Jerry Jones and Carla Weyrick both with the Ashbrook Neighborhood stated that their main concerns are the increase in density - they want to increase the number of units permitted from a current total of 247 to 325. This will impact the traffic and a number of other services such as our already overcrowded schools. A possible driveway to Drexel Place which would dump a large flow of traffic into our neighborhood. The location of entrances for service vehicles (garbage, movers, delivery, etc.) The lack of sufficient buffers for Drexel neighbors.
