Controversy in Surfside over how the condo owners will be compensated and where a memorial can be built.
Survivors as well as victims’ families are asking for a land swap so a memorial can be built where Champlain Towers once stood.
A judge overseeing the fate of the fallen towers said he’d consider a land-swap proposal, but only if the town would agree to relocate its community center to make way for a new luxury condo.
It’s a proposal many residents are against.
The potential land swap would move the community center next to a memorial built on the collapse site, and in exchange the community center land would be sold to provide compensation to all those affected by the collapse.
