The house at 4th and Cherry belongs to Betty Whitlock. The old house demolished belonged to her dad and was more than 100 years old.
The City of Noble recently completed an Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency project with the construction of three replacement houses for low-income families. This is the third OFHA project that Noble has applied for and completed, allowing recipients to own their new home free and clear after a five year occupancy period. OHFA grants provide the opportunity to demolish sub-standard houses and replace them with more energy efficient structures. The three recipients of the most recent project were Robert Torz, Betty Whitlock and James Petross.
Upon completion, the City of Noble applied for help from the Oklahoma Electric Co-op Roundup Foundation to obtain money for refrigerators, electric ranges, washers and dryers, furniture and window blinds. The City of Noble wishes to recognize the following donors who helped make this project a success: OEC Foundation Round Up Program, Lowes of Norman, Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland County, Jim and Annette Brown and the Maguire Store, Kinsey Sand -- Gravel (owner Dean Anglin), McGowan Investments, Nick Henson and the Noble Mobile Home Park.
Bob Wade, city manager, said the City of Noble intends to apply for the next available OFHA grant program and will advertise for applicants when details become available.
