Steve, I believe the old Middle School would best be served in the long run
if it were turned into apartments. I do not see the County spending the
money to remodel that building and even if they use it for two years, the
chances of losing Metro Plains is increased. I believe Winona is in need of
those apartments.
Thanks for asking for opinions.
