County Officials Weigh Buying Homes Over New Children's Center
Athens County officials consider buying three or four existing houses to serve as group homes for about 30 children instead of constructing a new county children's home. They visited six or seven houses, citing cost savings, quicker occupancy, and better living conditions. Concerns include legal authority, zoning limits, and neighbor reaction, though supporters say group homes offer advantages over institutional living and may attract federal aid.
