There won’t be any apartment buildings built in the City of Fultondale any time soon.
On Jan. 11, the Fultondale CIty Council passed a resolution to place a moratorium on issuing permits for new apartment buildings.
Mayor Jim Lowery said the moratorium has more to do with school issues than with the buildings themselves.
“Our elementary school is busting at the seams,” he said last week. “Until we can address the overcrowding, we need to think about how that relates to the apartments.”
In other business, the council:
• authorized the mayor to enter into an agreement with the Fultondale Chamber of Commerce for assistance with event planning
The council meets again on Jan. 25 at 11:30 a.m.
