“What is The Woodley? 
The Woodley is a proposed mixed-use development located on the block bordered by Main, Sumter and Scott streets, near Elmwood Avenue. Plans approved by the city Thursday include two four-story buildings housing residential units, a residents center and a commercial leasing area.” And I am proud to represent these folks.  
Some others appear to be not so happy to see North Main street be improved though ….

“COLUMBIA – State Sen. Dick Harpootlian, D-Columbia, has taken aim at an apartment complex proposed for the North Main neighborhood of Columbia. The lawmaker and lawyer joined Cottontown residents who fear the development will bring homeless veterans into the neighborhood at a recent city meeting.


But developers for the proposed apartments, slated for a tract of land between North Main and Sumter streets, told city officials they had no concrete plans to house veterans experiencing homelessness, or use housing vouchers.”
