Lufkin board recommends zone change for Freedom Church ministry

Lufkin’s Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended a zoning change for A Place of Hope, a ministry of Freedom Church, at 1419 Atkinson Drive. The proposal would allow the ministry to provide food, clothing, job assistance and other services. City Council will review the request at its Dec. 1 meeting and must consider it twice before the change can take effect, KTRE reported.
