Renovation work being planned for engagement center

COLUMBUS, Ind. — Plans are underway for major upgrades at an east-side building dedicated to helping Columbus’ homeless population.

The Columbus Township Trustee’s office and Centerstone have partnered to offer services at the Community Engagement Center, 1951 McKinley Ave., using about a third of the 5,029-square foot building which was constructed in 1951.

For now, that’s just enough space to provide a carry-in meal, talk to a counselor – or just watch television in a warm, comfortable setting, according to Centerstone program manager Brian Meyer.
