Youth Center Idea Sparks Park Development Debate
In the park a small building served as Shuffleboard Club quarters and was once eyed for a two story Youth Center with a downstairs shuffleboard hub. Mayor A J Waltz proposed tearing it down for a combined center, but the plan stalled as council never received his backing. The town voted 170 yes of 246 on a large bond issue for the project, later followed by Donnelly proposing a town hall for the growing village.
