Opa-locka business owners say recycling facility is driving down property values
OPA-LOCKA, Fla. – Business owners in Opa-locka are blaming a neighbor for driving down their property values and creating a traffic nightmare that they call downright dangerous. Business owners told Local 10 News reporter Michael Seiden that a nearby land recycling facility is a nuisance in their neighborhood. The business owners claim that the recycling facility, Metals USA, has no business being in their industrial park. Business owners claim that the facility opened without any notice, and now they want it kicked off their block. The county said an inspector visited the recycling facility last month, but did not find any evidence of contamination or pollution.
