8/10/07 - Are you Kidding Me? C'MON!

Are you kidding me? Still talking about the combined Health Facility too? Not enough space for the Horizon House? Here's the article.



See my post from April 2007. The Mental Health Department can't fit in the 14,400 square foot Horizon House. They were going to be put in a 30,000 square foot building with the Health Department, which needs more than the 18,000 square feet it currently resides in?

They both need more than the combined 32-33,000 square feet they are housed in, yet the County wanted them to be shoehorned into a 30,000 square foot space with non-City Code compliant parking quantities? In the middle of the City that has a South End Strategic Master Plan, with no room for expansion (other than purchasing more residential properties for parking - kind of like what they are doing on Elm Street to add 20 parking spaces for the County Office Building - and by EMINENT DOMAIN???)

And the current Legislature is complaining that the 1990 jail was obsolete regarding space when IT was built?

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...

Get it together folks - MASTER PLAN??? What happened to the needs assessment committee?
