Montgomery County Family Tired Of Living In Home Made 'Filthy' By Local Construction: Report

"Right now my home is a cave at the bottom of a quarry," one resident reportedly said, who has health concerns for his asthmatic wife.

Construction at the Cherry Ridge apartment complex in Limerick is causing frustration among local residents that say that filth from the work is blowing over their home, according to a Times Herald Report.

William Grater, who lives with his wife on East Cherry Lane, has attempted multiple times to convey to Limerick’s board of supervisor’s the extent of the filth covering his home, the report states.

He is also concerned that the “clouds of dust and dirt” that haved coated his home for months are worsening his wife’s health, the report states. His wife has asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and the conditions have worsened her health.
