Mayor Littlefield says the street for the Fairmount apartments is too narrow, but until now the city has not shown any concern about the street. The Fairmount apartments have been in the same area for over 30 years, and no city official including the now second term mayor had a problem with the area. The only reason he and others are interested now is because of the two- and three-story homes being built near the Fairmount Apartments. His only concern is that with the reconstruction of the Fairmount apartments the property value of the enormous homes being built will be lowered. The Chattanooga Housing Authority has assured everyone that all applicants will be screened thoroughly prior to granting them housing.
He says he has spoken to HUD about his concern, but he failed to say that HUD sent representatives from the regional office to walk the site. The HUD representatives have said Chattanooga Housing Authority’s plan for 36 apartments is acceptable and doable.
He says there are no grocery stores nearby, but what grocery stores are currently being visited by the residents living on Valentine Circle and other areas near the Fairmount property?
