Is anyone familiar with what this is?
It is from the agenda for last night's council meeting.
Thanks!

Sure Dan...I'd say its a "development"....

I am. I work with the agency as a part of my job. It is one of the buildings that used to be owned and operated by the Aristocrat. Welcome House (a subsidiary of theirs called Wesco, actually) bought one of these buildings and is in the process of renovation for the place so that people with physical disabilities can live there. Right now, people with cognitive disabilities get services there but it isn't accessible for people in wheelchairs or other physical needs. It is a fantasic program for the folks that live there and this will allow it to serve even more people with a wider variety of needs.

Hope this helps.

Thanks alot Phil! I appreciate the info.
