Genest Detention Centre for Youth - Anago

[jammer139]

Just announced this week by Anago that the Genest Youth detention center on Oxford St east of Fanshawe College has been vacant for over a year. What should happen with this facility? It has a Gym, Kitchen/Dining room and residential rooms plus administrative offices. Can an alternative use be found? Homeless shelter? MH treatment?

Logistically, I know using it as a satellite police station is a little on the no way side given its size, but it would be possible to split the building into a multi purpose / organization type. Police station, community outreach, even one of those types of buildings that Sylvan Street is going to have. Lots of opportunities
