It appears several city council members are not in favor of rezoning University Baptist Church for use as a homeless shelter co-ordination center, due to its proximity to the owner occupied southwest section of Carbondale. Of course, the board of the University Baptist Church has offered the building gratis to Good Samaritan House, so not using it for the very purpose Good Samaritan House exists means we will a large empty building sitting on the edge of that owner occupied area.
This says a lot for certain members of the City Council!
ReplyDeleteMy concern is there are very few uses for a building like that. The church has someone willing to take it and put it to use. I fear otherwise it will sit there, gradually get vandalized and eventually need razing.
