Sanford Community Center

The Sanford Feasibility Committee, appointed by Moundsville Mayor David Wood, is considering the acquisition of the former Sanford Elementary School Building to establish a self-sufficient, community-based center to provide resources and educational opportunities for all ages.

Here are some key points about the committee's vision:

• The center would NOT be a youth drop-in center. The community learning/resouce center would serve all ages and house social service agencies and community groups that would provide structured programs.


• Ideas for the center include after-school programs for youth, classes and programs for adults and seniors, and have community resources and services in a central location.


• The center would not be supported by the City of Moundsville nor the Marshall County Board of Education. It would be self-sufficient through rent, fees, grant funds and fund raising.

To voice your opinion about whether Marshall County needs a community center and if the Sanford Elementary School should become the site, please send comments to:

A survey form is also available at the Moundsville City Building. The public is also invited to attend the next meeting of the Sanford Feasibility Committee, which will meet at noon July 17, 2009, at Moundsville City Building Council Chambers.
