Review of Encore Developmental Services Facility Brings Concerns for Administration

A regular review of the facility of a DeWitt County non-profit has left the agency questioning what is next.

 

Stephanie Coonce, the Executive Director of the Encore Developmental Services in Clinton, says a review by the Illinois Fire Marshall's Office of the facility was vastly different this year than in years past thanks to a new individual who reviewed their facility with a fine-toothed comb.

 

 

For Coonce and the leadership at Encore, they are beginning the process of getting estimates for just how much all this could cost them. It is a concerning issue for the organization which is already strapped for cash.

 

 

Coonce indicates they are going to start reaching out to the community in hopes of finding support for whatever they are going to have to do. A frustration for her is there is no clear deadline on when plans have to be made, approved or even improvements completed. She notes the Illinois Department of Human Services has required a plan be submitted.
