Were American Military Veterans Repaid Deposits Made for Failed Housing at Fort Howard?
In 2014, your office had a court case against John David Infantino, who's - "veterans focused" - proposed Bayside at Fort Howard residential, retail, commercial and medical development project for the former Ft. Howard VA Hospital property failed to materialize. Your office - as per a phone conversation - swore to me that all the deposits were repaid. I am requesting proof that the monies were returned to the depositors.
The VA had cancelled their Ft. Howard lease with John Infantino several years prior to the court case. With that court legal determination, you told John David to take down his website for Bayside at Ft. Howard, which he had kept up online to help him convince potential investor/scam victims that he was a success at creating the promised vets' community and was working on other projects worth investing in. He took it down, then a few months later I found it up online again, because I have worked at hundreds of hours of investigating and tracking John D Infantino's online activities. I immediately informed your office that the website was back online, and was told, "Well if it is, he'll never build another thing in Maryland." To which I replied, "He never has and never will build anything anywhere. He is nothing but a conman." And then was told by your staff member that they them self had read some of what I posted online about Infantino, and simply said something to the effect that yeah Infantino is a bad guy.
As per an article in the East County Times, one vet depositor and his wife had sold their home in expectation of moving to Bayside at Ft. Howard, then when the development only seemed stalled to them, they moved into temporary shelter in their son's garage. We can reasonably surmise that other depositors had their lives upended in similar ways.
The Ft Howard VAMC development is a 19-year fiasco of a complete failure, which leaves the property rotting, vandalized, 8 arsons occurred destroying millions of dollars of the best, 1900-era, old time craftsmen constructed, large beautiful, Chesapeake Bay/Patapsco River waterfront homes that were originally for Army officers' families circa World War One.
You need to get onboard with those of us who are now fully confronting the issue and demanding that it be resolved by having something positive done with the Ft. Howard VAMC grounds for veterans and the affected communities of the Ft. Howard, Maryland area.
Please provide us with a list of the Bayside at Ft. Howard depositors who were or were not repaid by John D. Infantino.
