Jeff Brasfield, vice president of Brasfield Construction Inc., gave Golden Media Group insight how the public has been responding to the new facility.
“From what I hear and just from me seeing it, it changes that whole block from what it was to
something really nice,” Brasfield said. “The apartments are very good looking … it changed the whole (dynamics) of that area.”
The BlueCreek Apartment complex will include three buildings, two-three story and one-two
story building with a variety of two and three bedroom suites. The complex will also offer a main office and a laundry area as well.
