NORFOLK -- Controversy is brewing in the Talbot Park section of Ward's Corner, where residents are protesting a proposed new apartment complex.

The residents say that the proposed project is not the right fit for the neighborhood.

Collins Enterprises purchased the 23 acres with plans of building condominiums, but in the struggling economy, the proposal has changed to a 189 unit apartment complex.

In addition to overcrowding, the residents are worried about the impact a new apartment complex of this size would have on traffic in the area.

Community leaders understand that the land will be developed, but just hope that they will be allowed to play a part in the decision making process as plans move forward.
