CONWAY — Would you like to see the North-South Road extended, even if it means going through the former John H. Fuller Elementary School building and impacting the local neighborhood? That was the question asked of the Conway School Board on Monday night by two town officials.
The board is looking at options of what to do with the 10.8-acre parcel on Pine Street in North Conway. Ideas include a YMCA with a community swimming pool, 14 homes on 2 acres of the site; and hosting an early childhood program there.
