residents.“It’s all about serving the people,” Fluellyn states.“There are 15,000 plus residents in the city of Lovejoy. That is who Lovejoy is, and so we want to speak and be advocates for what they want to see in their city.” In collaboration with organizations like Habitat for Humanity, Lovejoy is successfully developing vibrant communities, transforming the lives of many families. Designed for workforce and first time homeowners, the city’s affordable housing project will introduce 400 new ranch-style homes, all under 1,500 square feet. In addition to affordable options, Lovejoy offers a range of housing to meet the needs of residents at different stages of life, including step-up homes for growing families and affluent housing options for those seeking their dream home. A senior housing project is also in the works, bringing 80 to 100 new residences for the aging population. Moreover, Lovejoy’s housing authority is exploring rental options, including single-family homes, as a way to control rising prices and offer more affordable living choices. 202 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 05, ISSUE 10
