Work has begun on the Home Builders Association of Midwest Georgia's new Scholarship House, located in Willow Dell subdivision in Senoia.

The Scholarship House is built utilizing volunteer time and materials from members of the association. Midwest Georgia association members Jeff Betsill, the current president; Richard Simms, past president; and Chad Floyd, secretary, are overseeing the construction of the house.

Contributions thus far to the current project include Wachovia Bank, DK Designs, All Seasons Heating & Air Conditioning, Ryan Construction, Ray Jones Construction, Fairburn Ready Mix, Builders First Source and Plymart.

When the home is sold, proceeds will be used to fund the association's annual Scholarship House Program.

Begun in 1984, the program has provided a total of 126 scholarships of $1,000 or more for students from this area.
