In brief: Demolition begins as church makes way for new center

Staff Reports

MILLWOOD – Millwood Presbyterian Church began demolishing its Christian education building Wednesday to make room for a new multipurpose community center building. The Rev. Craig Goodwin anticipates the demolition will be completed by Thursday and that construction on the new building will begin in late fall or early spring 2013.

The church has been working in cooperation with the city of Millwood and neighbors of the church for several months to prepare for the demolition by vacating the church’s alleyway, securing a conditional use permit and resolving issues about the waterline that runs through the alley. The church has also raised $910,000 through gifts and pledges to support the project.
