GREENVILLE â Plans for a new recreation center in Greenville are in the very early stages, but organizers are happy to share the news with the community.
âWe are very excited about it,â said Rita Clemente, president of Community Recreation of Northern Mercer County.
On Monday, the nonprofit organization closed on the purchase of the former East Elementary School building at 71 Columbia Ave., Greenville. According to the Loomis Group Auctioneers website, the successful bid was $160,000.
âThe school is a tremendous resource,â she said on Tuesday afternoon.
Clemente said the school is in a good location and has a lot of space, making it a good fit for recreation.
