Little Rock is moving forward with its lawsuit to shut down a Cantrell Road apartment complex it considers a nuisance even though that complex is under new management.
"We will make every effort to provide safe, decent and affordable housing for the tenants and future tenants," says Randy Beaver, owner of Alabama-based Sunbelt Management.
His company took over Valley Heights Apartments in mid-October.
The city earlier this year filed suit against the prior owner, citing on-going crime problems as its rationale for trying to shut down the low-income complex.
City Bruce Moore says the city still aims to have the apartments shut down.
Beaver says his company has made improvements to the complex and has hired a new management team. He also says he hopes the city will give the complex a chance to move forward.
