Some citizens and council members have been waiting months, and now will finally get to go inside Colts Academy.
From 9-11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, the city will host an open house at Colts Academy, 124 First Ave. SE, St. Joseph. The space was purchased by the city for use as a community center once the district moves out.
“This is an opportunity for people to see what’s there and give programming ideas for the new community center space,” City Administrator Judy Weyrens said in a Newsleader interview.
A purchase agreement was originally signed on June 15 by the city to purchase Colts from the school district. The deal was finalized in September. Colts currently houses District 742’s early childhood programs, as well as Little Saints Academy, a child care center.
