Motel no longer part of housing plan

EMPORIUM - The Prospect Motel on Sizerville Road, about a half mile north of Emporium, is no longer being considered for use as a transitional housing facility.But putting it elsewhere in Cameron County is not being ruled out, at least for now, said Cindy Zembryki, administrator of the Cameron-Elk Mental Health/Mental Retardation program.She said spots in Elk and Potter counties are also being considered for the facility that would help those with mental or substance abuse problems re-enter society.Within a month, she said, a place could be found for the Comprehensive Regional Adult Forensic Treatment program. Wherever the spot is, Zembryki said, she wishes to get community members' feelings.Cameron County Commissioner Glen Fiebig said he wants it set in stone the facility won't be in Cameron County.
