APOPKA, Fla. — Apopka's city leaders still appear to be trying to undermine a proposed affordable housing complex next to a development they refer to as the city's crown jewel. The development, Southwick Commons, would be a 192-unit apartment complex for low- to middle-income tenants. The fight over the development began several years ago, when the Altamonte Springs-based developer Wendover bought the property and proposed putting the complex on the site. However, the city had placed a restriction on the land mandating that only luxury housing could be built there.
