Gateway Development Corp. will apply for tax credits to build a low-income apartment complex on Lester Road despite neighborhood opposition and a lack of endorsement by the city of Statesboro, Gateway Development President Thomas Ward said last week. Ward first came to Statesboro City Council on May 6 seeking a letter of support for a complex, called Newport Trace, that would have been open to low-income families of all ages. It would have included 56 apartments with up to three bedrooms each in two- and three-story buildings.
