The Veterans Administration wants to build an innovative facility in Oakland Park that would help integrate veterans back into the community. Residents, however, fear it will attract “undesirables.’’
5 September 2011 - A unique proposed treatment program for veterans has run into a firefight in Oakland Park as upset residents fear their neighborhood will be overrun with drunks, drug addicts and mental patients.
Community pressure helped prod the city’s Planning and Zoning Board to reject the building that would house the project.
The fate of the pilot program by the Veterans Administration — one of only four in the nation — is now in the hands of city commissioners.
They are set to vote Wednesday whether to overturn the Planning and Zoning Board ruling and approve the redevelopment of a long vacant building on East Oakland Park Boulevard to accommodate the VA program. The project is supported by congressmen and veterans and opposed by the city’s own planners and community groups.
Home owners are worried, said Oakland Park Commissioner Shari McCartney.
