By mid-March staff hope to have the roof installation complete and the quarantined rooms cleaned and reopened. The Skills Development Center is being relocated effective Monday to Southern Human Services. This is a six-month solution with a lease starting July 1, 2020 at the Europa Center. The Skills Development Center will be housed at the Europa for three years until the permanent solution in Carrboro is designed and built. The timeline is a result of a combination of sale of the building and mold and environmental concerns. There will be a small resource room for computer usage and several community partners will be co-located at Southern Human Services for now. 2. Budget 1
