JACKSON APARTMENT UNDER CONSTRUCTION

JACKSON -- A $500,000 apartment building is under construction here.

"We're hoping for completion in March," said Chad Hartle.

Hartle, who has 137 units of storage and apartments in Jackson, Cape Girardeau and Perryville, said the new complex will consist of two buildings.

"Both will be two-story structures," he said. "One of the buildings will house six apartment units."

The new building will be located on Highway 72 West.

Dirt work has begun and some concrete has been poured.

Canyon Development of Farmington will be doing much of the construction.
