Residents Urge Council Action Against Builder
About a dozen homeowners Tuesday evening implored the City Council to take action against Choice Homes for what they say is shoddy workmanship. The Arlington-based home-builder is building several subdivisions in the area. The residents complained about faulty drainage, plumbing and foundation failures, cracked walls and driveways, and buckling streets. They said they want Choice Homes or the city to pay for the repairs. No one from Choice Homes was at the meeting, and the council took no action. Mayor Boyce Whatley said the city had tried to contact Choice Homes about the problems, but he told the residents they may have to seek redress through the courts. Herb Booth, Staff Writer
