City battles over Unit 16 West redevelopment dispute
Hart Porsch’s Ameri can Dream project for Unit 16 West faces a breach notice from the city attorney over missing financial capability information. City officials set two options: rectify or void the development. Porsch defends the plan while citing environmental concerns and a $100,000 deposit yet to be paid, delaying progress on the $400 million, 3,500-home village project south of Southern Boulevard.
