RICHMOND BIZSENSE, Aug. 7, 2018: A local nonprofit’s plan to convert a Manchester church into a homeless shelter has been met with mixed reception from area residents, including some vocal dissent coming from developers who have a financial stake in the Southside neighborhood.
Commonwealth Catholic Charities (CCC) is under contract to purchase the former Community Bainbridge Baptist Church property at 1101 Bainbridge St., along with two adjoining parcels.
