PERRYSBURG – After 22 years in operation, the Perrysburg Heights Community Association is fighting to keep its community center open.
At a recent meeting of the PHCA board, members voted 4-2, with two members abstaining, to eliminate paid staff and close the center indefinitely. However, an emergency meeting was called May 28 for a reversal of the motion.
The organization is now working to raise enough funds to keep the center, 12282 Jefferson St., in operation. The Perrysburg Heights families are sponsoring a “Save Our Center” event Friday from 5:30 to 11 p.m. at the community park on Jefferson Street, near the center.
“The PHCA has accomplished much of what it originally set out to do,” reads the groups’s website, “but we are far from finished.”
