Massena ditches plan for housing on former school site; land may be made into park, sold

A plan to build 12 single-family dwellings on a parcel that once housed the Lincoln School is officially dead, and the village Board of Trustees now is debating whether to sell the empty tract or turn it into a park for neighborhood children.

[excited]

i think it would be great to make this piece of land into a park there is alot of lilttle kids in the area that would love it

[nonsense]

one thing is certain in massena, and that is children.

personally i wouldnt mind a strip club with a decent vip lounge and private rooms, but that wont happen.

Blight and disrepair of old schools...that's what you'll see throughout the city (where I come from)and politicians (true to form) don't care. Meanwhile, the amount of students in a city classroom is a startling site...so many kids in one room...looks like cattle packed together on a factory farm.The political minds that bump together...most will not have their constituants concerns as the front issue.."Hurray for me, the hell with you"...seems like most politicians would rally on this behind closed doors.Shame..I hope the north country doesn't turn a blind eye and speak up and out on issues that are important to you.

when i tried to tell them the uses that building could have been used for in the futute -- i was told it was "a shut deal" and a "favor" owed to somebody from the mayor. it was all done behind doors. we do have a good school system of buildings in massena. they have been renovated too many times, thou! up to date school books would be more important!
