| Cleveland County Abuse Prevention Council breaks ground for new facility |
|
April 1st was definitely not April Fools Day at the Cleveland County Abuse Prevention Council, it was April “Thanks” Day! The realization of a dream come true, “Building Hope,” for the council took place at 940 Wendover Height Dr., Shelby where the new 1.65 million dollar facility will be built. It was over two years in the making, and will include all living and office space needed for the program. Last year 211 people were accommodated by the program and unfortunately 174 had to be turned away. With the completion of the new facility, the Cleveland County Abuse Prevention Council will be able to assist more individuals in need. Executive Director Cathy Robertson said she is not only excited about the new facility, but: “I’m looking forward and dedicated to raising the needed funds to complete the project.”
