CONWAY — The voting portion of the annual Conway School District Meeting will take place on Tuesday, in what might be the final voting in the Conway Community Building in Center Conway. The polls are open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The Conway Parks and Recreation Department, which has called the Conway Community Building home for more than two decades, will be moving into mothballed space at Kennett Middle School in June, thus closing the Center Conway facility, which does not have running water, workable toilets and is costly to maintain.
