I have recently purchased a 1 acre lot west of 8th Avenue, between 1st street and 2nd street. I intend to build 4 – 4plexes and would like to annex into the city to utilize city services. I have been working with Mr. Altonaga and Mr. Markegard to make sure this is feasible. I have lived in Laurel my entire life, and am looking to build high quality apartments. My intent is to make each unit 3- bed 2-bath, and make each building and the lot aesthetically pleasing to the community. I look forward to working with you on this project and believe it will be beneficial to the expansion of our town. Please call or email me with any questions or concerns.
