Golden shovels made their marks in the soil of a Scott Road property Sunday as Alex City Area Habitat for Humanity held a groundbreaking for its next home project. An Alexander City family chosen by the organization will be fortunate enough to live on the shady corner lot after a family selection committee chooses one.
President Larry Bates said a family has not been chosen yet but the committee is making headway and he expects a family to be chosen within about a month.
