FORREST CITY — Forrest City in northeastern Arkansas has condemned a former high school that's on the National Register of Historic Places.
Code enforcement officer Connie Muqtasid said Forrest City School District has been served with a condemnation notice for the building built in 1915. The roof is collapsed in one part of the building, and the district recently put up fencing around the property to keep people out.
Mayor Larry Bryant said that it's "a shame" the city had to condemn the building. He said he hopes officials can restore the building, or save at least part of it.
School district Superintendent Tiffany Hardrick told The Times-Herald that officials will determine what to do with the building.
A public hearing is scheduled for Nov. 3 before the City Council.
