Information on Old Powhatan School

Some people are asking why the town can’t do anything about the old Powhatan School. The town has nothing to do with that property and it seems that the Powhatan Point Revitalization Association is still paying the taxes on it.

Many years ago when the voters were being informed about the bond issue to build new schools, the school board brought a meeting to our old auditorium and we were promised that the school district had allocated money ($300,000) for the removal of the old school.

Unfortunately the school was sold to the Powhatan Point Revitalization Association and now we have the mess we have.
