What Should Uriah Hill Be Used For?

A Pop Warner football coach is anxious to put the empty school to use for youth activities. At Monday night’s City Council meeting, where he asked the council for more support in general, the coach explained the many uses he sees in Uriah Hill.

“We got a Pop Warner football field and locker room. We can do work outs there, run midnight basketball, summer basketball, winter basketball. We can have a track team, gymnastics can use it and we can use the auditorium for music and theater,” the coach told the council.

The mayor said that the city is working with the school district to see what terms and conditions would be acceptable to the district as the city tries to forge a partnership with it. “All volunteers that want to hold programs are (welcome to come forward),” the mayor said.

The issue of Uriah Hill t last week’s joint City Council and school board meeting, where the school district chief said they want to keep the building in the district rather than sell it. The two groups discussed the range of community groups that could make use of the school building.
