Marshall House water infiltration problem hot topic

Concerns raised by At Large Trustee Ron Goodwin and citizen Kathy Miller led to much discussion about the water infiltration problem that occurs at the city's Marshall House Apartments when the Marshall City Council met tonight. While the council again said they are working diligently on the issue, Third Ward Trustee Brent Williams also noted that the city needs to decide whether it wants to stay in the business of operating the subsidized housing facility in because the enterprise fund has been operating at a loss for several years. Mayor Bruce Smith, however, believes the Marshall House remains a good idea for housing low income senior citizens. See the June 23 Chronicle for more on how this ongoing problem, that has led to the discovery of mold, is being handled.
