Habitat building Acworth house for veteran

The NW Metro Atlanta chapter of Habitat for Humanity will hold another build day on Thursday on an Acworth home for an area veteran.

The Ivey House, named for WWII veteran Lt. Colonel Ashley Ivey, who donated the land, is the first home built for a veteran by the NW Metro Atlanta chapter. On Thursday, volunteers will build interior walls, wrap the house, install trusses, windows, doors, insulation and siding.

With this house, the NW Metro Atlanta Habitat chapter intends to being building a house for a veteran each year.
