Lima quarantine facility shut down on 2nd reading
By Josh Ellerbrock - jellerbrock@limanews.com
LIMA Lima City Council rejected a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant allocation towards an isolation and quarantine facility for the homeless for the second time after more details emerged about the project’s intent during council’s Monday night meeting.
Council President John Nixon, who voted against the measure during its first reading, again opposed the project, but this time around, he was joined by Councilors Jon Neeper, Peggy Ehora and Jamie Dixon. Councilor Derry Glenn abstained from the vote.
“My bottom line is I’m not going to support a permanent ongoing homeless shelter. I’m simply not going to support it,” Nixon said.
