Orlando Braces For Baldwin Park
The large infill development set to replace a former naval base is causing concerns among residents and local politicans.
The former Orlando Naval Training Center will become home to 8,000 people under the city's plan, but neighbors are concerned about the effects their new neighbors will have on roads and schools. Unfortunately, their concerns are going mostly unheard because of a state law that spares closed military installations in Florida from an onerous and lengthy multi-government review called the Development of Regional Impact.
