Public workshop Wed. on future of Lincoln Middle School, which closes in August

The public is being asked to attend a workshop Wednesday to discuss the future of Lincoln Middle School in La Crosse, that’s closing in August.

ISG and the school district will host the community workshop from 6-7:30 p.m. in the cafeteria at Lincoln (map).

The School Board voted in January to close Lincoln this summer, saving the district close to $2 million a year.

Information gathered from the workshop will be used to redevelop the property and enhance the surrounding neighborhoods, the district stated.

Options for re-using the century-old school have been discussed, such as converting it to housing.

Neighborhood maps and other information will be on display. Staff will be available to gather comments and answer questions.
