Local Citizen says we need more Homeless Shelters than a Event Center

There continues to be all this controversy in the paper about this new project they are wanting to do in Rocky Mount in reference to the event center and the money it is going to cost.

Rocky Mount needs more shelters for the homeless.

We have a lot of people who are homeless.

The city should realign its focus to help the people in our community and not place any additional expenses on an event center that is not going to be used.

So doe this person have a point? Does Rocky Mount need more shelters to help end the homeless issue in our city.

How about taking that money and use it  to get more large industries to set up shop in our city. Over the last few decades RMT has lost many large companies, Hardees Corp offices, Fast Food Merchandising and Barcalounger Manufacturing Company.

One of the main reason why they left Rocky Mount was the high cost of Utilities..

It seem the only business that are setting up shop in RMT these day are  gas stations and fast-food shops.
