Soap Factory tenants say they're weighing legal action over unpaid relocation stipends
The tenants union representing residents of the Soap Factory Apartments said it’s weighing legal action against the city and real-estate developer Weston Urban, saying the two entities failed to provide relocation stipends by a promised Jan. 1 deadline. The allegation and legal threat is the latest wrinkle in a plan to raze the Soap Factory — one of downtown’s few low-cost apartment complexes — to make way for the San Antonio Missions’ proposed ballpark and surrounding development. In late December, the city of San Antonio issued a statement telling concerned tenants those who qualified for a $2,500 relocation stipend and had vacated the apartment complex would receive payment by the New Year.
