In outlining options for a new community building the American Legion explains a 60 by 120 foot design with basement dining room and gym is too large for funding. A trimmed plan without basement and two story front could cost about $18,000 while preserving a durable roof and functional assembly area. The aim is a sturdy creditable facility meeting long term Plattsmouth needs without crippling debt.
