McBride and Son Homes, Inc. would develop the site.
Residents of in the Wild Horse Creek Road area could soon have some new neighbors—22 of them to be exact.

Last fall, Henry submitted plans to the city for the senior-living center. The plans were originally met with disapproval because of a request for denser residential zoning. Neighbors were concerned …
