Twenty-eight residents still remaining at the troubled Glenwood Resource Center will be moved out by the end of June, signaling the state is near the end of its two-year plan to permanently shutter the scandal-riddled facility. In addition, the 235 staff members still working at the facility will be laid off by the official closure date, according to a notice on Iowa's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN, website. The closure ends a controversial chapter in Glenwood's history.

But the shuttering of this large state institution continues to raise concerns among some advocates, who have said services provided to residents at Glenwood may not be sufficiently replaced by other community services.
