Murray City to Open its First School Lunchroom in Decades
Murray City schools will launch a new lunch program starting Sept 7 with a remodeled former classroom turned into a modern kitchen and dining space. Contractor Guy Millholland of Nelsonville leads the project which includes a restaurant range, refrigerator, freezer and serving counter. The district has lacked a lunchroom since the 1930s WPA project, and a spring survey showed strong parent interest for regular lunches. The kitchen will be ready Sept 8 and operate on school days thereafter.
