Impact analysis
The closure could mean repair or relocation costs for the center and extra transportation or care costs for people who must find services elsewhere.
The main upside is public safety—closing an unsafe building lowers the risk to occupants and emergency responders.
People with disabilities who depend on the center for services, along with its staff, could face disrupted care and access.
