by RAY LEWIS | The National DeskAnita Mecklenburg and the shelter site in Cass Recreational Complex in Boston .A Massachusetts town slated to host migrant families in a former state prison is experiencing anxiety over the newcomers' expected arrival, according to one local leader.
“This is our first time housing families that I’m aware of," Mecklenburg said. “We have just a queue of people eager to help and eager to be supportive, and there’s some anxiety as well, which is fair. We don’t have a lot of information, and when things are uncertain, it is an anxious time.” “We’re in the very early stages of having information from the governor. We’ve had only one meeting with them, and so we really don’t have enough information to know the details of what challenges that it presents,” Mecklenburg said. “I think that there will be challenges, but I don’t really think we know the specifics of what they are.”
“We have reached out to other select boards who have experienced this already and said, ‘What can we learn from you? What are the things that you’re feeling really good about?'” Mecklenburg told TND. “We have begun that dialogue with several other communities.”
