OTHER DEVELOPMENTS IN ROSWELL: Planning is unhappy to report that now that we are finally beginning to see more affordable, starter family homes and a large number of new apartments getting ready to be built in Roswell, the housing market has slowed down tremendously due to the election year and the tightening up of the money available for new construction and development by the lending institutions. We knew this was coming to Roswell eventually, and it appears to have arrived. All we can do now is wait for the outcome of the election to see how it will affect the economy after January of 2009.
