Proposed move of Sulzbacher takes spotlight at town hall
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Weeks after Jacksonville City Councilman Garrett Dennis said he was approached by leadership at the Sulzbacher Center, he held a community meeting Tuesday to discuss the facility possibly relocating.
Dennis said the idea of potentially moving the homeless shelter to a location in his district on Fairfax Street was brought to his attention in late June. Around the same time, Cindy Funkhouser, the organization’s president and CEO, told News4Jax that nothing had been set in stone.
A site the Environmental Protection Agency once described as one of the most polluted sites in the U.S. is among the potential destinations for the Sulzbacher Center.
