You may have noticed that 458 Morgan Street is no longer listed for sale. That’s because after Monday morning at 9AM, the house won’t belong to Morgantown Homecoming and the Fairmont-Morgantown Housing Authority any more! That’s right–we’re closing on another sale.

So I can’t embed WBOY’s coverage of the Wiles Hill NW! Plants event, but I can link it. Click here to see WHHPNA president Dave McKain (who was not wearing the NW sanctioned shirt, shame on you, Dave) talk about the effort.
And the Fairmont-Morgantown Housing Authority’s (FMHA) own September Efaw, Loan Processor Par Excellence, was on WBOY’s camera Friday when reporters stopped by to cover her team’s work in Greenmont. Check out September and the great work of FMHA’s employees here.
Thanks to all the area businesses, organizations, and governmental organizations that made our planting events such a success.

Just a little photo post of Wiles Hill under yesterday’s snow. I got some nice pics of the Hill’s views over the Mon River and another couple of shots of homes Morgantown Homecoming has sold in the neighborhood.

- Greenmont Neighborhood Association, Monday, January 26, 7pm at 228 Green Street, Greenmont

John Martys and I will be speaking at South Hills and Suncrest about voluntary deed restrictions. Greenmont and Wiles Hill have ongoing projects that will be the main topic of dicussion.
If you’ve never been to a neighborhood meeting before, you should go to at least one. Even if you don’t live in one of these neighborhoods, watching people come together to accomplish a common goal is always fascinating and empowering. And just think, it’s happening here in our (not so) little town. Wow, I feel proud. Good way to start the day.
