Carterville Feud Over Land Trade Delays School Building Plan
Carterville city officials and the Unit School District Board remain at odds over about 20 feet of land needed for a $400000 bond funded building program. The dispute centers on land north of the high school football field and a 70 by 100 foot strip between the grade school and the city park. The city seeks a larger exchange to develop a city park, while the school worries the land request is excessive and would require moving the ball diamond if approved.
