Nelsonville Restoration Foundation plans continuing work in the community after saving the former Nelsonville High and Junior High. Members Gettle and Parsley told Athens County Commissioners that the group will donate 30000 dollars to a perpetual scholarship with the Nelsonville High School Alumni Association. The sale of the buildings to the Woda Group for redevelopment into apartments is planned at 94000 dollars, with potential use space for Rocky Brands.
