CONWAY — A major legal battle is brewing between the Northeast Woodland Chartered Public School and the Mt. Washington Valley Economic Council.
The school has filed an injunction to stop the Economic Council from selling a piece of land the school now uses, known as Lot 5. They will meet in Carroll County Superior Court on Oct. 13.
