CLARKESVILLE - The Habersham County Commission is considering abolishing inspections by the county building and planning department - a move opposed by the county home builders association. <br>
<br>
The Board of Directors of the Home Builders Association of Habersham/White County has voted unanimously to oppose the move. <br>
<br>
The board says it is afraid abolishment of the inspections could lead to substandard construction. <br>
<br>
The home builders group also says removing the inspections would mandate EPD oversight and inspection - greatly increasing the time it takes to get permits approved in Habersham County.
