Representatives with Emrica LLC which is a registered Indiana company that operates a similar center in Benton Kentucky met with city officials to talk about the proposed project. The 24,000 square foot structure would be built on land on Enterprise Lane near the Super 8 motel. It is anticipated that the new facility will help an urgent need for psychiatric services in the area. If all goes well, it is hoped that it will open in late 2021.
