(Richmond, IN)--The city of Richmond and Wayne County appear to be set to collaborate on a plan to address homelessness and other problems in the city’s downtown area, including Elstro Plaza and the parking garage.  Mayor Ron Oler addressed it Monday night.  "It may include spending some of the restricted opioid dollars that the city has been holding for a rainy day.  There's no timeline to spend it.  We've been waiting for the area of greatest need, and we think that is now come to fruition," Oler said.  Oler said that a funding appropriation is likely several months away.
