The Thompson-Weiler Project is one of 15 houses that are being built in 2007 through the efforts of Habitat for Humanity–MidOhio. Habitat is pleased to support the resurgence outlined in the City of Columbus http://assets.columbus.gov/development/planning/franklinton.pdf Franklinton Plan and spearheaded by the Franklinton Development Association with this house on Schultz Avenue–the 8th Habitat house built here in the oldest community in Central Ohio.
Our homebuyer partner on this project is the Thompson Family including Benny and his 4 children. Benny works at Port Columbus Airport to support his family, and his commitment to the sweat equity, financial and other house purchase requirements is the cornerstone that makes this project possible and worthwhile.

We have been abundantly blessed with financial support from Alan and Bobbie Weiler who made a $100,000 donation to cover the entire cost of construction for this house. This is the second house that the Weiler's have sponsored in as many years. We are very appreciative of their generosity!
The house at 228 Schultz Avenue is an Open Build. This means that at the outset there is no single group of volunteer builders committed to the project. We have an empty lot, a deserving partner family, generous financial support and an undying faith in the power of God working through people. Dozens of organizations have stepped forward and organized their employees and members into work groups that will donate over 2500 hours of volunteer labor to build the house. Thank you for your generosity!
Marge Ward and Dave Bezaire are committed to work on the project from beginning to end, providing the leadership and continuity to insure a high quality result. They are very appreciative of Terry Baughman's dedication as a crew lead throughout. All of the work was done under the direction of Roger Powell, Construction Superintendent.
