A local attorney representing 36 households at Arrowhead Village trailer park has made a counter offer to Landmark Properties’ relocation package for the residents.
Instead of about $14,000 apiece, Kenneth Burford is asking for $35,000 in exchange for the residents dropping their opposition to the project that would displace them.
An attorney for the developers said the counteroffer made the residents look “greedy” and was “a form of extortion.”
A total of 56 trailers in the trailer park, located on Blackbird Roost, would be removed if a rezoning for the 650-bedroom student apartment complex is approved. The city Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of the rezoning for the project on June 25, but the City Council has the final say.
