An historic building in downtown area will be renovated and the use will be housing for young professionals instead of the proposed safe heroin injection site. From the Ithaca Voice:

For reference, the building in question is the light color building in the middle with the Salvation Army on the right side of the pic. To the left is the Southern Tier AIDS Program. Further left is the Tompkins County Social Services building. The next two buildings down are a hair salon and the Cayuga Addiction Recovery Services. I hope the new housing can attract the young professionals to the area. On another note, my brother lives near the next intersection. He finds used needles on the back porch of his apartment quite frequently.
