Happy Friday, folks! Yesterday, we asked what you thought of the chosen location behind the hospital for a new St. Mary’s High School. With over 150 responses, we see that:
35% are supportive and think it’s okay to a great choice
41% don’t like the location for a high school
15% are ambivalent about it
And 9% are just hearing about it now
Joan Chandler is one of tha residents who feels strongly about it, and shared her take in a comment you can find here.
In any case, if you’re interested in the rezoning issues, there’s a public meeting coming up. You’ll find the info on that here.
