I guarantee a developer wants it,, and the city is grabbing it for them. No amount of work, bringing up to code, going to hearings,,etc would have stopped it.
The city wants that land for a specific reason, guaranteed.
No. Don’t make that bet. I’m a local. The econmy sucks here; anything being built has moved East, and even there they stopped building. West Montgomery is primarily black, poor and crime ridden. No one is or wants to build there.
