Community weighs saving Ottawa Middle School building
About 80 residents attended a public forum led by the Old Ottawa Middle School Study Committee to discuss preserving the building. Support grew for a ¼ cent countywide sales tax to fund a proposed community center in the structure, with residents like Freone Hollinger and Leona Jones urging action for youth and local reunions, while critic Norm Wooge favored demolition citing structural concerns from Finney Turnipseed engineers. The Ottawa Board of Education had prior evaluations in 1994 and 1996 on the building’s condition.
