Oakwood City Council rejected a proposed 84-unit apartment complex that would have had rent-controlled units based on family income. Gary Hammond, of Landbridge Acquisitions, emphasized the apartments would be for the “working poor” — which he outlined as manufacturing employees, civil servants, retail workers and government employees — but several residents spoke against the development. Council officially rejected the project’s site plan on a 3-2 vote, but it also voted against a resolution of support that would have gone to the state Department of Community Affairs.
