GRAND RAPIDS, Ohio — A new housing development in historic Grand Rapids, Ohio has people in the area talking.
Some have said that it's not right for the small-town feel, but others think the new houses will be good for the town.
The plan is news to Veronica, who has lived on Front street for 20 years.
"The majority of people in this town didn't know about it. We did not have a choice or a chance to voice our opinion on it," she said.
