Center plans to expand

AMELIA — A $1.9 million renovation project is being done on the Clermont House, a historic structure that was built in the late 19th century.
Ground has been broken to add 20,000 square feet to the building, used as the Clermont Counseling Center. The addition will become the home of the center's clinical and administrative offices.
“Many of our clients have a difficult time finding transportation, and this location in Amelia is on the bus line,” said Tricia Burke, executive director of the Clermont Counseling Center.
The building is at 43 E. Main St. i
Ms. Burke said the addition will keep the residential appearance of the Clermont House and allow clients to feel less stigmatized about finding the support they need in the neighborhood.
The center received a $35,000 grant last week from Fifth Third Bank through the Ohio Valley Foundation.
The grant will be used to build a community room in the Clermont House. The room will be available to civic and support groups that need meeting space during the evening. It also will provide a new home for Willow Wood Helping Children Through Their Grief, a social program for troubled and grieving children and their families.
The center was originally purchased as a halfway house for chronically mentally ill adults.
The addition is to be completed in December.
