Well that seems like a win-win! More housing plus reusing an existing building that's been empty.

It's amazing it hasn't happened years ago.

But mah parking…

Will miss the creepy factor this old nursing home brings to the neighborhood, tbh

a couple of proposals from vague recollection that the neighborhood shot down. There was a big push against having apartments there. Which I think is nuts

It’ll probably help elevate property values in its vicinity, too. Win-win-win.

I’m sure they’ll survive

It will continue when future apartment residents find phantom Werther's Originals around their place and unexplained pee spots on the rugs.

Oh yeah not going to be haunted at all!

Parking isn’t really an issue in this location. Not like north of the river.

Also the article says they’re adding 20 parking spaces.

Oof... Cabell.

Karens still love to make the complaint though. Anything to avoid the horror of apartment dwellers near them

If I remember correctly the previous plan was to tear it down and build a bunch of two/three story townhouses or apartments. This plan was not popular. This new plan seems like a great compromise.
