Low income housing developers, Brownstone Developments LLC, are suing the city of Natchez in Mississippi over the right to rezone land that they had been allotted for development.
The developers had plannd to build a residential area called Audubon Terrace in the Bluebird Drive area of the city, when the board of aldermen denied the developers the right to rezone the land.
As per a statement issued by their attorney, Michael Cory, the developers claim that they were given a letter of assurance by the former city planner, that the land they had purchased for their project was zoned properly for housing development.
Later however, the planning commission turned down the development project stating their reason for denial to be the improper zoning of the project.
The developers then repeatedly tried to get the area rezoned but were denied by the planning commission and by the board of alderman.
They are now filing a lawsuit claiming more than $1 million in damages.
