Preserving greenspace on the Mills Lawn Elementary School property and developing a desirable facilities plan for the local schools are not mutually exclusive goals, say a group of residents calling for a portion of the Mills Lawn grounds to be set aside as a permanent community park.
The area of interest, on the western side of the nine-acre school property, is undeveloped, and the members of Preserve Mills Lawn Greenspace, which was formed last year, want to keep it that way.
The group’s effort to preserve approximately five acres at the center of town as greenspace has intensified in recent months as the Yellow Springs School district undertakes a facilities master planning process that could affect the future of local public school properties.
