TCBOE cedes old Hackneyville school to town improvement committee

File / The Outlook

The Hackneyville Community Center suffered storm damage from Hurricane Zeta in October.

The Tallapoosa County Board of Education voted to forever release all covenants attached to the old Hackneyville school, giving its owner the Hackneyville Improvement Committee full control over the property.

The building converted to Hackneyville Community Center in the early '90s, following the closure of the Hackneyville, Daviston and New Site schools as those students were folded into Horseshoe Bend School. While the Tallapoosa County Board of Education no longer owned the building, it still held some rights to the use of the property.
