Developer abandons new housing project in Moss Bluff



Lake Charles, LA (KPLC) - Earlier this week, we told you about a housing development proposed on highway 378 in Moss Bluff.

It would have targeted families that earn less than about $40,000 a year, but due to opposition to the project, the housing will not go forward, according to the developer who does not want to fight the community.

The housing would have been 72 units off of Sam Houston Parkway. But after seeing what he called the “visceral, overwhelming and shocking responses of the community,” Harold Foley, of Atlanta, said they would abandon efforts to develop here.

Homeless advocate, Wayne Bebee, says the need for affordable housing is huge.

If true, you should push to have the zoning language changed to only allow the style of housing that is surrounding the property. So this doesn't happen again.

If they want to do higher density housing, it should be geared towards old folks/nursing homes. Those tend to be better neighbors.
