The Housing Authority continues to plan for its public hearing with the upcoming building project at the Fouche Apartment Complex.
After a meeting with county, city and housing officials, the project is one step closer to reality.
The Fouche apartment buildings are slated to be demolished. Single-family housing units will then be constructed on the property.
The Housing Authority appeared before the Board of Mayor and Aldermen earlier this month asking for the board’s support in its desire to take in acreage of Campanella Park.
There was mixed emotions among city leaders about encroaching upon the local park.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
