Confusion reigns over Bath Avenue drug clinic plans
More than 100 Bath Beach and Bensonhurst residents came to a Community Board 11 meeting to voice their strong objections to a proposal to open a drug and alcohol addiction treatment center on Bath Avenue as the board expressed concerns of its own about the planned facility.
“We had a packed room. The residents were very passionate,” Board 11 District Manager Marnee Elias-Pavia told this newspaper about the board’s April 11 meeting, which took place at St. Finbar Church’s Confraternity Center at Bath Avenue and Bay 20th Street, two blocks from the proposed drug center site.
The fate of the proposed drug clinic remained unclear in the wake of the board meeting.
