Beginning the month of October, there will be a bus stop right in front of the CIL Ocala office! Currently, the closest bus stop is located at the Marion County Health Department, about a half-mile away from the CIL office. This new stop will allow easier access to the Center for our consumers and will also help out other businesses in the area. We are so excited for October!
