The Cuero City Council has been hearing a lot of NIMBYism in regard to the children’s advocacy center Norma’s House opening an office at 1105 Hunt Street. The non-profit, which serves Gonzales, Lavaca and DeWitt counties, has offices in residential areas so that the children it serves feel more at ease.
