***CANCELED*** Public Comment for Environmental Review for Children's Advocacy Center

The non-profit Friends of Josephine County Children's Advocacy Center has applied for development of a new office building for the advocacy center. The new development will occur at 202 NW A Street, Grants Pass Oregon. Currently the site is a vacant lot across from City Hall. The new center will afford more accommodations for the agency to provide the necessary support services for abused children of both the county and city. The location affords easier accessibility for all agencies who support the center. HUD requires an Environmental Review before development may begin. Public Comment begins Tuesday January 17 and ends February 1, 2023. The review document may be viewed below and at the Community Development Department, 101 NW A Street, Room 202.
