The city of Avon Park actually did something right when it hired Alice Oldham to run the Avon Park Housing Authority. It was a great decision, something the residents of Avon Park can't often say about our city government. Ms. Oldham has taken a department full of with problems and turned it into something to be proud of. The Housing Authority runs two areas of low income housing: Delaney Heights on the north side of town and the area between Lake Tulane and Tulane Avenue. Time and again, Ms. Oldham has worked for the often overlooked residents in these developments. For instance, the residents in Delaney Heights now live more comfortably after central air conditioning was installed in their apartments last year. All I can say is, "Job well done!"
