Speak Up: Delay for Georgetown homeless village
Posted
While the hoped-for mid-November opening of Springboard Collaborative’s Pallet Shelter Village has been dashed by a delay in important electrical components, preparation continues to welcome 40 homeless individuals from the immediate Georgetown area. The launch has been pushed back to the middle of December, as builders await three 400-amp main breaker panels.
