NUECES COUNTY, Texas — The Nueces County Juvenile Justice Center on Gollihar Road is celebrating the week with the completion of a new addition called the Del Mar room.
Folks with the Student Government Association at Del Mar College transformed the room that once used for storage into a safe space for crime victims.
