Up to You: Oak Haven Elementary School

If it were up to you, what would you like to see become of the vacant elementary school?

 

All across town, Coventry has its fair share of vacant buildings. Some have been empty for years while others see a rotating crop of businesses.

But, if it were up to you, what would you like to see happen to these buildings? We'll feature one empty building, lot or area in Coventry and ask our readers what they'd like to see there.

A bowling alley? A clothing store? A Japanese restaurant? A movie theater? What do you want?

This week: In 2009, Oak Haven Elementary School closed due to financial constraints and since then there has been some talk about re-opening it if All Day Kindergarten was ever brought to Coventry (highly unlikely at the moment). Town Council President Gary Cote has also looked into making the building a charter school in the future.

If it were up to you, what should happen to this building?
