It should

be relatively quiet this year at the housing authorities of Palmetto,

Fairburn and Union City.

That's the

assessment of executive director Andre Netterville after two public

hearings that nobody attended last Friday.

The first

public hearing was for a discussion on this year's agency plans.

"The

biggest thing is that we're asking for another maintenance vehicle,"

said Netterville.

With no expansion

or demolition scheduled for this year, Netterville said the agency will

focus on small maintenance problems scattered among the 60 units in

the three cities.

The agency

also will focus on upgrading the computers in the office, he added.

The second

public hearing involved the city of Fairburn donating a quarter-acre

site on Dodd Street to the Habitat for Humanity of South Fulton County.

With no opposition,

the authority plans to donate the land to the group. Habitat for Humanity

is currently building four homes in Fairburn.
