GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) —Greensboro city leaders are concerned about safety and the operations of the Interactive Resource Center.
One month ago, the Greensboro City Council approved additional funding of $463,000 for the center.
City leaders say after the IRC received that funding one month ago, they expected the center to have additional 24/7 security on site by Sept. 1, which the IRC doesn’t have.
“They could have been making arrangements right after we took the vote,” Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan said.
Security is one of the things IRC Executive Director Kristina Singleton said is currently in the works under the center’s 30-60-90-day plan.
Singleton said additional 24/7 security is expected to be at the center next week.
“We were waiting for our contracts from the city. We have a go from them to go ahead and start being able to move forward with the things that we need to do. We’re super excited for all of the changes that we have coming up,” Singleton said.
Some city leaders say that’s not good enough. Last month, the city and the IRC agreed to a plan to address safety, and the mayor feels like the nonprofit isn’t executing that plan.
