City officials in Decatur say there’s no truth to rumors that the city is looking at the former County Market building on Pershing Road as a shelter for thousands of migrants. The rumors have spread on social media recently and allege the building would house two-thousand migrants. Officials with Pershing Industrial LLC also deny the rumors because they just closed on the building. They say they want to attract interest in the site as a manufacturing facility that would generate revenue for the region and create jobs.
