    Mental Health Facility Saga Continues in Decatur Heights

    Decatur Metro | December 10, 2009

    Many Decatur Heights residents still want the Peer Support and Wellness Center on Sycamore Road to eliminate its drop-in program for mental health patients, but so far the city has determined the Center hasn’t broken any zoning laws.  From the AJC…

    This week, the network submitted files confirming the state had authorized the facility and explaining why the drop-in component is critical to the mission, said City Manager Peggy Merriss.

    She has not yet reviewed the documents but will make recommendations for city action once a review is complete.

    “We will review it and proceed from there,” Merriss said.

    There is no timetable for when the city will issue its next report. No meetings, including neighborhood sessions, have been planned.

    Tip of the ol’ fedora to Nellie for pointing out this new article.
