EMPSON HAS BEEN A BUSY STREET! Townhouse units are springing up like mushrooms in the Spring. Work has started recently on the fourth and fifth units in that area. It is great to see some development in that section of town. There has been a need for multi-family housing for some time, and the construction of these units help to fill that void.
