The city has been looking for a way to make everyone happy ever since residents of West View Terrace said they did not want 32-Habitat homes built in their back yards.
But any deal that has Habitat walking away from its plans to build in that nieghborhood is going to cost the city. [pre-pro]
Habitat has invested a lot of money in the project, which breaks down like this:
The land has an appraised value of 335-thousand dollars.
Habitat has spent another 255-thousand on construction and legal fees.
So if the city wants Habitat to abandon the West View project, the city will have to come up with a package of both land and money that's worth more than 590-thousand dollars.

[Live= Scott full/Newsroom]


Tomorrow's announcement, spelling out details of the deal, will be held in Northwest Roanoke, in the Loudon-Melrose neighborhood.
The city will not confirm that is where Habitat will build its homes instead of at West View.
