| After several months on the drawing board, plans for the new Northwest Youth Assessment Center are finally becoming a reality. The facility will be a major improvement for the center, which is currently housed in the old law enforcement building. In addition to more space, the new building will have more amenities, including four dorms, a classroom, and a kitchen. The center is also closer to the middle school and high school, making it easier for kids that need to shuttle back and forth. Administrator Marsha Hughes says the new space will offer a more nurturing environment for the kids... "It`s going to be a lot more homelike environment instead of an institution type setting," says Hughes. "It`ll be a lot bigger facility than what they currently have. Right now the day room/common area that they have is very small, and accommodates three or four kids at a time only. The new facility, we`ll be able to have anybody out almost all day long. It`s three times the size that we currently have. The building itself almost double square footage of what we have." Hughes says the modulars for the center should arrive in December. They expect to move-in by January. |
