city Yellow Springs, state Ohio: Celebs Rumors

"Construction should commence in early spring," George Oberer, the CEO of Oberer Homes, told Dayton Daily News, the major local newspaper. Chappelle received criticism earlier this week after the paper reported his opposition to the developer’s plan – which sought to add dozens of multiple-family homes to the village, which in 2019 had less than 4,000 residents, according to the U.S.
