Controversial proposal to build apartments pulled off table

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - The controversial proposal to build apartments instead of office spaces at the corner of Berry Hill Road and Eastchase Lane is now off the table.

The land, only feet from the Shoppes at Eastchase and Halcyon Elementary School, was originally zoned for office space.

The Montgomery Planning Commission confirmed the proposal, made by Lowder Developers, to rezone the land for multi-family living units.

The plan was withdrawn and no reason was given for the decision.
