This is the WFHB Local News for Monday, March 29th 2021.

This week, we present a four-part WFHB News Special where we revisit the stories we covered over the last year. We selected four areas of reporting, which include: Homelessness in Bloomington, the Coronavirus Pandemic, Social Justice Reporting and the Environmental Edition.

In our first installment of this series, we focus on homelessness in Bloomington – particularly on the city’s two evictions of encampments at Seminary Park and then a failed city council ordinance to add protections for people experiencing homelessness.

All that and more in today’s edition of the WFHB Local News – Seminary Park.

The City of Bloomington posted a notice in Seminary Park that warned of an eviction on Monday, January 11th. The planned eviction didn’t happen until a few minutes before 11 p.m. on Thursday, January 14th (Young).

Several Bloomington Police Department vehicles park in the lot beside Seminary Park. At least 12 police officers were there while campers packed and carted away their tents and belongings (Young).
