NORTH OGDEN -- Joyful emotions ran high Thursday afternoon as Marjorie and George Rice were handed keys to their new North Ogden home, courtesy of the Have a Heart program.

Flags covered the front lawn of the new home, signifying George's four years of service in the U.S. Air Force and his 28 years working as a civilian at Hill Air Force Base.

This is the first home the Have a Heart program has helped with this year, but four homes were awarded last year. Currently in its 11th year, the Have a Heart program is a service arm of the Northern Wasatch Association of Realtors and Northern Wasatch Home Builders Association. Have a Heart contributors build new-construction homes for people with low incomes, those requiring wheelchair accessibility, military and special-needs families.

The non-profit home building group Have a Heart is interested in building a handicap-accessible home possibly for a veteran in North Ogden.

City Councilman Wade Bigler approached the council about approving a resolution that would waive all city building fees so the agency can build a home without paying fees to the city.

The group builds homes for those in need and allows the home buyer to buy the home strictly at cost. The council is in favor of the idea and will vote on a resolution at its next council meeting.
