Residents of Ocheyedan favor tearing down its baby-boom-era school building, the Worthington Daily Globe reports. The amount of money it would take to refurbish and remodel the building is more than the building would be assessed at afterwards, the article says.
An interesting part of the story, which applies to other towns facing the same issue, is that converting the school to a community center or town hall would leave the existing town hall in the lurch.
