Business from the Floor:

According to research, there is no building right with this parcel. Supervisor Harlen Anderson, Jr. and Attorney Sharon Myers suggested several options. The outcome that Jesse decided on was to remove his father’s old home next to this parcel, combing 3 parcels as a reverse subdivision, and build a new home which will include living quarters for his father.
