Mitchell Davenport of Clement & Co. speaks to the Flowery Branch City Council on Thursday.
There are still hoops to jump through, but a developer got closer Thursday night to bringing a 60-unit affordable housing project geared to residents 55 and older to Flowery Branch. City Council gave its first OK Thursday night to St. Simons Island-based Clement & Co.’s rezoning request that would allow for the complex to be built on a 7-acre site off East Main Street near Thurmon Tanner Parkway and Phil Niekro Boulevard. “I’m going to vote yes for it, but it’s a very, very soft yes,” Councilman Joe Anglin said.
