Shawnee residents made their voices heard Monday night during the city commission meeting as they expressed concerns about a rehabilitation center for sex offenders going into a residential area on Highland.Residents requested that the city prevent the center from going in at 1401 E. Highland, and City Manager Jim Collard was able to offer a plan to move the facility to another location.
Collard said the facility has been issued a building permit, but an occupancy permit hasn't been issued. Until all the building code requirements are met, the facility will not open, he said.
