Intervest Corporations developers pushing back to build affordable housing in Pascagoula
SUMMARY: Intervest Corporation developers are aiming to expand affordable housing for seniors in Pascagoula by renovating the old science building of the former high school.

The developers are seeking an appeal process and hope to bring the project back to the city council for a reconsideration. If approved, they plan to build 23 housing units for elderly residents. The developers believe the project is needed to provide affordable housing for seniors in the community.
