Plans to build 25 single-family homes in Fountain Heights are delayed, but officials with the Birmingham Housing Authority said they hope to start construction next year. The contractor, Curtis White and Company, informed the housing authority last week they wouldn't be able to handle the project, said housing authority executive director Ralph Ruggs. The housing authority had a $3.4 million contract with Curtis White and Co. to build the homes. They will be sold to qualified low- and moderate-income buyers. As recently as last month, the housing authority approved an additional $351,000 to the company to cover the cost of materials, which have risen since the contract was awarded in February. The Fountain Heights project will be advertised again and a new contract should be awarded within the next two to three months, Ruggs said.
