Plans to build new townhouses near downtown Findlay are moving forward. The Findlay City Planning Commission approved site plans for nine single-family apartments at 200 South West Street during their Thursday meeting.

Phil Lawson is a partner in the project and says they hope to start building this year. The Wood County building inspector has to sign off on the blueprints first. Lawson adds demolition of the former church at the corner of West and Front streets starts next week.
