Petition to preserve old South School site as open space
Residents back a petition asking the city to keep the former Old South School property on S Main Street between Fourth and Fifth Avenues as open space for community use. While plans are unclear, supporters oppose housing and favor a civic center or garden space with benches and maintained grass. People may sign at the public library and submit future use ideas to Miss Jeannette Niederlander.
