Pomeroy-Palmer merged with Pocahontas Area a decade ago. The building in Pomeroy has been vacant nearly as long, except that the gymnasium has remained in use for practices*. But Pocahontas Area doesn’t want the facility anymore, KCCI reports, and the city of Pomeroy has been given 90 days to determine whether the building will become city property or be torn down.
Pomeroy currently has a small community center near downtown on the north side of town.
*Headline in tab said “School building used for practice gym faces uncertain future”.
