Core Civic

The sermon had been preached, the last prayers offered. Now, Mike Yoder decided, the time had come to share unsettling news.

Right now, our communities, our county and our region are faced with a proposed project that would impact everyone for decades to come. While some might point to certain potential positives, I believe the overwhelming evidence points to negative effects that far outweigh any positive benefits. The proposed CoreCivic detention center would have many aspects that are not beneficial to our quality of life/place and would detract from the vibrancy of our area.
