Charlestown High School Building Plans Stir Debate
Debate centers on remodeling the present Charlestown High School instead of building anew. Opponents worry remodeling would affect nearby property and views, possibly replacing a street with an alley. Architect claims remodeling could cost about 18000 while a new building would cost around 40000. Contractors estimate 25000 to 30000 for remodeling. The plan would convert current walls into an auditorium and add classrooms for the high and grade schools, with capacity for about thirty five more students, though some deem this inadequate.
