Vote on housing for women seeking to leave sex trafficking postponed
1116Rezoning
A Gainesville ministry plans to build a campus housing women escaping sex trafficking on 50 acres off Weaver Road, a hilly area off Poplar Springs Road in southeast Hall County, but the project has drawn opposition from neighbors.
A decision on a proposed faith-based program housing and counseling women seeking to leave sex trafficking will not be decided until at least Jan. 26. Gainesville-based Straight Street Revolution Ministries is asking the Hall County Board of Commissioners to rezone a 50-acre southeast Hall property to build the complex. Commissioners, with dozens of residents in attendance both for and against the controversial proposal, on Thursday tabled the matter until the New Year.
