Orange County, FL, to Spend $17M To Rebuild Troubled Apartments

Orange County, Florida, will address a troubled apartment complex through a $17 million redevelopment fund financed through a combination of nonprofit bonds and federal funding. Some units will be demolished, while others will be fully renovated. The apartment complex has suffered from chronic issues with robbery and assaults over the past two years, so strict residential guidelines will be implemented, including the number of people allowed per unit and a review of police records. In addition, the apartments will have security systems, and noise and loitering rules will be enforced. See the web link.
