Carver Center to close, for now
“PEORIA — George Washington Carver Community Center, an iconic institution with roots stretching back to the 1920s, is closing indefinitely Sept. 2.
“Board members say the closing is temporary to allow time to reorganize and restructure operations. But Carver supporters already are worrying about the possibility of the temporary shutdown becoming permanent.”
