(WDLB) -The Personal Development Center in Marshfield is acquiring the former transitional homeless shelter that closed in the city three months ago.During a news conference held at the former transitional shelter operated by the St. Vincent DePaul Outreach Center, P-D-C Executive Director Renee Schulz announced her organization is purchasing the facility for the cost of the land value, which is 80-thousand dollars. Schulz said P-D-C will close on the property April First, with the goal of a May First occupancy for all current P-D-C offices and programs. Schulz said the housing portion of the new operation would be established and available by late summer, after some modifications for increased security are made to the structure.
Schulz said the facility will need renovations of 150-thousand for additional safety measures, plus another 150-thousand dollars a year in operational expenses, mainly for around-the-clock staff members. She said P-D-C is launching a public fundraising effort, to help with what she called a new beginning for the shelter, and for the Personal Development Center.
