Description
I live on 1st ST in the Lowe Mill District. This property at 2110 is an old boarding house across the street from me and next to Central Baptist Church. The boarding house stood empty for many years, and recently was bought and fixed up by Cole Kupec and his mother and brother. Cole told me initially that it was going to be rented out as apartments. Recently, my neighbor told me that he told her that it was going to be turned into a halfway house. This is an awful idea. There are children all up and down this street and I'm sure none of my neighbors will be pleased about this either. As you know, Lowe Mill is being upgraded and improved, and 1st Street is a main connection between Governors Drive and Bob Wallace Ave. I am very upset, I DO NOT want a halfway house across the street from me. What can be done to stop this? Thank you, Rita Coffin

I agree fully. The area is currently being brought out of the slums of town and doesn't need this brought back to it.
Ya have $300,000 homes being built in the neighborhood and then ya have a halfway house.
I fear the city has no insight to the social aspect of a halfway house location and how it would better benefit the former inmates when in areas with high commercial properties for easy employment.....not in neighborhoods where kids could be negatively influenced.
We are all products of our environments, and I see no need in damaging the environment of the children that live there.
