The Children’s Advocacy Center is at a crossroads, one with the remnants of sodden carpet underfoot and surrounded by the familiar ribs of steel drywall studs that say Hurricane Ian has been here. It faces what could be a $400,000-plus price tag for restoration of its Ian-drenched complex, and a changing demographic that makes the wisdom of that restoration questionable. Even as she leafs through sample books of carpet, CEO Jackie Stephens concedes she’s in gridlock. The elements of the situation swirl around one another like leaves in the sewer suction that finally guzzled back the Gordon River and tributary creek from the center’s rooms.
