A hearing on the matter will take place at 5:30 pm, on Wednesday (Feb. 22), in the Council Chambers at Birmingham City Hall

As mentioned, some residents are not satisfied with the plans Tower Homes has brought forth.

Andrea Paschal, a resident of Crestwood started a petition to express concerns about the current plans – about 333 people have signed so far.
