“One of my missions in my career and life is to do as much as possible to help people in our community,” said Santoro. “I want to commend the trustees for considering the possibility of situating the homeless shelter on your site. I want to discuss that a little. I’m working with Clermont Community Services to get an idea of the requirements of the facility.”
