Neoga resident says three Jennings Avenue lots reverted to city; plans to finish and sell one house
Summary
Eric Fritts told the council three lots he bought on Jennings Avenue reverted to the city for failing contract requirements; he said contractor delays and higher-than-expected HVAC costs stalled construction and he plans to finish and sell Lot 1 by early December.
Eric Fritts told the City Council on Oct. 28 that three lots he purchased on Jennings Avenue were reverted to the city after he failed to meet contract requirements. "I marketed the lots for the first nine (9) months before I started on the first house," Fritts said, adding that contractor backlogs and HVAC costs about "three times higher than what I planned" contributed to the delay.
Fritts said he also accepted a full-time job that limited the time he could work on construction. He told the council his current plan is to finish the house on Lot 1 and work with a local realtor to have it sold by early December. Council members thanked him for the update; no formal action was recorded on the lots during the meeting.
