The neighborhoods surrounding the Vernon Manor are lining up to oppose the conversion of the former luxury hotel to low-income housing.
Avondale Community Council President Patricia Milton said neighborhood leaders in Clifton, Corryville, Mt Auburn and Clifton Heights met Tuesday to discuss the prospect of a low-income conversion. They emerged unanimous in their opposition to the project, according to Patricia Milton, president of the Avondale Community Council.
“Community support is vital to receiving city, state and federal funding for low income tax credits to support this type of project. We will not support any tax credit applications or zone changes for this proposed project,” Milton wrote in a Sept. 11 letter to Belvedere Corp. co-owner Alex Warm.
