COMMUNITY RECOVERY OPEN HOUSES- Friday August 15

Input, Innovation, and Ideas Welcomed at Two Upcoming
COMMUNITY RECOVERY OPEN HOUSES
Hosted by the Strategic Community Recovery Planning Team

A group of citizens, local government representatives, and business owners have joined together to form the Louisville/Winston County Strategic Community Recovery Planning Team (SCRPT) for the purpose of creating a strategy for community recovery in the aftermath of the tornadoes that struck in late April of this year. A meeting in the Winston County Courthouse on Tuesday night brought together over forty of these individuals who created three Recovery Committees; Business/Economic Development Committee, Community & Medical Services Committee, and Housing Recovery Committee.

On Thursday August 14 from 8:00 AM until 10:00 AM and then from 4:00 PM until 6:00 PM, the (SCRPT) will host an Open House in the Winston Court House Annex, located at 115 South Court Street, Louisville. The public is invited to learn about the strategic recovery planning process and share their ideas and input on ways they would like to see the community of Louisville rebuild and recovery from the tornado damage.

If you would like more information on the Open House please contact City Hall at 662-773-9201

Building Code Changes and Enforcement Requirements

The Louisville Board of Aldermen recently made some changes in building code requirements inside the City. After discussion,input and some concerns expressed by property owners, the Board revised the 2012 International Building Codes back to the 2006 International Codes. This action removes the fire sprinkler requirement on all new construction. Fire sprinklers are still required for homes over 5000 ft. Also changed were the arc fault circuit interrupter requirements which are now only required in sleeping areas of the home.

The 2006 Code did also add some additional requirements, including a fire extinguisher to be within 10 feet of a fireplace and in the kitchen and added the requirement of a carbon monoxide detector along with smoke detectors if you have gas appliances in your home. These codes are for new construction only.

Richard Barrett, the city’s inspector wants to inform the public that permits are issued from 8 to 11 in the mornings and inspections are completed from 1 PM til 3:30 PM in the afternoons – Monday through Friday. He also advised builders to call a day ahead before pouring new concrete slabs or footers to allow for early morning inspections. This includes roof felting as well.
