A Lexington City Council committee was updated Tuesday on a $200,000 feasibility study for the city’s homeless shelter needs. Charlie Lanter is commissioner of Housing Advocacy and Community Development. He told the General Government and Planning Committee the year-long timeframe had much to do with choosing where to put a new shelter.
“The reason that it is as long as it is, again, is the site-ing. When you start working on it, any council member knows this, where to put a shelter, and who will operate it -- those are really complex questions that can raise significant issues.”
