 Charles Hardy has been removed as the director of the first-step homeless encampment. The camp will remain open under Athens Alliance leadership, but Charles Hardy himself will no longer have anything to do with it. Hardy was convicted of battery earlier this month, and the local government asked for this change of leadership to benefit camp residents. However, Hardy continued working on site and refused to abide by his own organization's continuity of operations plan. That's when Athens Alliance removed him as camp director.
