Horton was present and said they’re anticipating moving forward…

“We’re excited to be here in Allegany County, excited about the project, excited to get going with groundbreaking here later in the year.  I want to thank the commissioners and the staff for getting us to this point.  We’re excited about the project and excited to build some houses.”

“Thank you for making adjustments in your original proposal to meet what we have got back feedback from our citizens and from ourselves and our staff, and working with us.  It’s been a real joy to work with a developer who is very interested in the community and not just building houses.
