Daviess County Habitat for Humanity met
Oct. 26 at their office on the corner of E.
Nat’l Highway and S.W. First Street.
Old business included discussion about
two new build sites donated by Doug Camp-ton
located in Washington and one site in
Elnora donated by Barbara Waggoner. At the
last meeting, acceptance of the Elnora site
was tabled until it was determined whether
or not it was located in the new flood plain.
At the October meeting the motion to accept
the donation was passed since it does not sit
in the new flood plain. The possibility of
dividing it into two lots was also discussed
but not resolved.
It was decided Habitat would submit an
entry for the Christmas Parade set for Nov.
28.
The decision to start accepting applications
for the 2010 build was also approved. Any
Daviess County resident desiring to submit
an application for Habitat house can pick up
an application form at the Daviess County
Chamber of Commerce, the Washington
mayor’s office, the Washington Post Office

County Habitat for Humanity Web site at

Jan. 15, 2010. Qualifications for applicants
can be found on the Web site. DCHH has
build sites available in Washington, Plainville
and Elnora.

Van Trees streets in Washington is pro-gressing

completion of the siding and builders are
