Coaldale Borough Council unanimously decided to accept the now-abandoned Coaldale High School Building from the Panther Valley School Board during last evening’s regular session held in the borough hall.

Mayor Ron Plocinik, chairman of the high school committee, recommended council accept the building for the sum of $1 after numerous meetings were held by the committee.

He said the committee seriously weighed the cost estimates and work effort which must be put into the renovation of the building and feels it is a worthwhile project for the betterment of the community. He said the tax structure of the borough will not be touched in regards to this undertaking.
