Springhill low-income housing development name change and a
timeline   When I first saw this article on Richmond I was
confused due to the name switching from Richmond Overlook to The
Belle Summit Apartments but a little reading and it became it is
the same development that we’ve been discussing for awhile. Gary
Hammond, a principal with Bridgeland attempts to sway
neighborhood concerns about the term low income and gives a
vague timeline for work to start. Bear in mind that the timeline
is dependent on receiving a special use permit.  “Section 42
(low income) housing is designed for good, hard-working people
who just happen to make what is defined as low income. Nobody is
paying their rent for them.”  Hammond said his residents will
all make between $26,000 and $38,000 per year for a family of
one to four people.  The general contractor for the project is
an division of the company called Agile Construction. Most of
the work will be done by local subs, Hammond said.  Bruce Milam,
