Resolution to re-zoning flap attainable, mayor believes

On the one hand, Walhalla can use new housing, but some city residents don’t want anything that could de-value their properties. Mayor Edwards chimed in with the opinion today he’s confident meetings of all involved can temper the Tyre B. Mauldin Street controversy and settle the controversy for all to accept. The mayor today said he’s had meetings with developers Sam Head and Chad Kirby and with residents who have concerns about what could be built. And Edwards says he’s going to engage in meetings with city staff to get some ideas. “We just got to make it work for everybody, and I think we can,” the mayor said. Walhalla’s second attempt to process a re-zoning application from the developers failed for a second time last night when, at the 11th hour, the hearing was called off.
