Haywood County Board of Commissioners Proposal

Haywood County Board of Commissioners Proposal

Creation of Center

• Noting a “lack of supervised activities and the absence of a place to facilitate those activities,” the Pigeon Community Development Club presented the Haywood County Board of Commissioners with a proposal to create a “unified community club” at the site of the former Haywood County Schools Instructional Materials Center. Prior to its life as the system’s IMC, prior to the desegregation of the county’s schools in 1964, the building was one of only two African American schools in the county. The club proposed a long-term lease for the property with the goal of making it a community center where the club could offer programming including health and fitness, recreational activities, and other family-oriented programming.
