Cincinnati officials and Avondale residents will likely have a chance to meet next week with the firm that wants to buy nearly 750 units of HUD-supported Section 8 housing in the neighborhood.

City Council was scheduled to vote Tuesday on a resolution opposing the sale. But the item was held because of the planned meeting.
