Lima Council approves family housing and lot swap
By Josh Ellerbrock - jellerbrock@limanews.com
LIMA Lima City Council passed two initiatives Monday that will lead to additional development throughout Lima and its downtown core..
The more controversial of the two passed bills involved a $500,000 payment that will fund the creation of family-friendly supportive housing units meant to help homeless families in need. Local mental health agencies, including the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board and West Ohio Community Action Partnership, have publicly advocated for the creation of such a facility, but councilors were divided if they wanted the city’s funds involved.
