The Wilmington City Council will review plans for how to use the vacant fire station on Princess Place Drive. City staff is proposing the site be used for affordable housing. LINC is asking to lease the building for a boarding school to help young, at-risk men.
WILMINGTON –– After seeing an uptick in youth violence on Wilmington streets over the past year, a local nonprofit is proposing solutions it hopes will set misled teenagers on the right path.
Leading Into New Communities (LINC) recently restated its interest in leasing the vacant fire station at 3933 Princess Place Dr. from the city. For $1 annually, the organization would house a boarding school at the site with cohorts of 10 to 12 young men, between the ages of 16 and 19. Residents would sleep in the fire station at night and work during the day toward obtaining their GED and acquiring vocational and technology skills.
