The leadership of the New Britain Council should immediately pursue whatever action is required to complete the necessary zoning variances required to allow the completion of the Salvation Army’s centralized food pantry at 78 Franklin Square.
Both the Federal and State funds that have been allocated for this project may not be sufficient for providing the required refrigeration needs. Therefore, strongly recommend that the City Council review its reserve funds in order to help this project to move forward.
The Council must also recognize HUD’S demanding for public seal bids are to be performed, prior to awarding any contracts, which could result in costs higher than originally anticipated.
This project has been on and off for the past several years and the City should commend the efforts of the Salvation Army in its pursuit in helping the community it serves and that of Mr. Arnold Schwartz who has been in the trenches pursuing this issue since its outset.

Anonymous side: It's the right location
The Salvation Army should direct this program by all means.
It is just like the goverment to give funds to another poorly planned project. How about making a PLAN before throwing money at a problem, not to mention finding the right people to do the job instead of personal interest.
