Neighbors ask whether proposed Honeysuckle Apartments will be veteran-only or Section 8; developer says veteran housing

At a public hearing before the Montgomery Planning Commission, the developer of the proposed Honeysuckle Apartments was asked whether the planned multifamily development would be subsidized housing such as Section 8. The question mattered to a neighbor because past local experiences with some subsidized housing had raised concerns about property values and neighborhood conditions. When asked, the applicant’s representative, Chris Bostick of Peel Green and Bostick Engineering, said he did not know all particulars of tenant eligibility but that the project was intended to provide veteran housing. “It’s veteran housing,” Bostick said. He added he believed the apartments would be targeted toward veterans or families of veterans but said he did not have full details about subsidy programs or operating covenants at the hearing. No formal decision or approval is recorded in the transcript for this item; the public hearing was held and staff accepted the applicant’s presentation. The applicant said he would provide further project details as they become available.
