Board 11 alarmed over plans for Bath Avenue drug treatment clinic
Community Board 11 officials expressed alarm and anger over plans by a private entity to open a drug addiction treatment center on Bath Avenue.
Board 11 Chairperson William Guarinello said the board received a letter from a representative of an entity operating under the name Big Apple Bath Beach Inc. informing the board of the company’s intention to open a chemical dependency program at 1751 Bath Ave.
The community board voted at its March 14 meeting to send a letter to Big Apple informing them that the board does not approve of the plans for the new facility. The board serves in an advisory capacity only and cannot stop a facility from opening.
