Mrs. Wilson says "several developers" have expressed interest in submitting bids. A large waiting list traditionally more than fills any vacancies, especially in one and two bedroom units. That's what will be sought in this go-around, she said. Construction is moving "right on schedule" on west Center in Bountiful on a 16-unit apartment complex.

The Davis County Housing Authority's Au-thority's board of directors authorized autho-rized a move that will take place sometime next fall to new, larger quarters in south Farmington. The public agency will move to a new 10,000 square foot facility just south of its current, rented space at 225 S. 200 W. Some 3,000 square feet will be leased by the Housing Authority with other tenants to be signed for the remaining space.

Programs administered by the Authority range from operation and ownership of subsidized housing hous-ing around the county to homeowner home-owner rehabilitation projects. In other action, the board opted to seek a second round of bids for rental unit rehabilitation. Under that program, apartment owners remodel facilities to meet federal guidelines. In return, the Authority agrees to place those units on its subsidized rental program, guaranteeing guaran-teeing landlords a steady lease.
