Counseling Associates of the Four States Groundbreaking

Updated: March 15, 2013

JOPLIN, MO.--- A Joplin business breaks ground after being destroyed in the May 2011 tornado. The Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce held a ceremony for the Counseling Associates of the Four States today.

The business has been in a temporary facility at 705 Illinois Avenue in Joplin. Construction means they'll soon be moving to 26th and Jackson. Owners say they're excited to provide more services in a larger building.

"Have better facilities to offer things to the community that we can't currently offer," said Deanna Street, Counseling Association of the Four States.

The counseling center is scheduled to open at the new location in August.
