Hello and good morning city of hagerstown !
We are happy to announce a major step forward for Downtown Hagerstown
The city of hagerstown MD has decided to repurpose the Meritus park / flying box car stadium
Starting monday sept 16th ( end of 2024 season) the stadium will be temporarily repurposed as a homeless shelter.
The city has heard your pleas for an answer to the homeless rise. In recent years the city of hagerstown has been over run with homeless vagrants. For much of the last 10 years the designated homeless congregation point was the dual highway sheets RIP. Now that this sheets is gone the city had decided to repurpose the meritus park.
The facility will be temporarily outfitted in the field with bunking and outdoor recreations.
This will not interfere with the 2025 season. As the city anticipates completion of several new warehouses that will be converted for long term usage.
Some features of the meritus park shelter will be - clean drug usage rooms / out door recreations such as anti catalytic converter theft classes / chemistry and much more !
Please help spread the word that our city is taking leaps and bounds at solving the homeless
Problem !
