Neighborhood to be housed on former site of Sparta’s Central School

Rockford based Sable Homes will break ground on a new neighborhood in the Village of Sparta, Central Town Square. The neighborhood, which is located in downtown Sparta near the intersections of North Union and Grove, and North Union and Alma, will feature 20 homes. According to the National Association of Home Builders’ statistics, the construction project will create more than 60 jobs in the Village of Sparta. The site of the project previously housed Sparta’s Central School, hence the name, Central Town Square.

Media is invited to attend the groundbreaking. John Bitely, president of Sable Homes, Martin Super, manager of the Village of Sparta, and Gordie Nelson, superintendent of Sparta Area Schools, will all be available for interviews.
