New partnership aims to transform Dallas Co. apartment complex

From the West Alabama Newsroom–

A new partnership between the Dallas County Commission and the Selma Housing Authority — aims to transform a Dallas County apartment community.

Jim Minor Garden Homes in Selmont — is now under the management of the Selma Housing Authority.

The Dallas County Commission owns the property.

SHA officials say they plan to upgrade the units — improve the grounds at the complex — as well as the security.

“Several ways. Adding cameras and then we’re also going to listen to law enforcement to see what they think the needs are to increase the safety of the residents there,” said SHA President & CEO Kennard Randolph.

“The monies, the rents and everything still will be coming to Dallas County. However, we will pay him a monthly management service fee for managing the complex,” said Dallas Co. Probate judge Jimmy Nunn.

Deputies with the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office will patrol the housing development — along with security officers with the Selma Housing Authority.
