The town of Camp Hill is upgrading its facilities, having purchased Camp Hill Baptist Church for $70,000 to be used as a multi-purpose municipal complex, Mayor Messiah Williams-Cole announced Friday.

While plans for the 130-year-old building are "preliminary and tentative," Williams-Cole said, possible uses include a free monthly medical clinic, a food bank, a free fitness center for utility customers, a literacy and technological resource center, a drive-through utility payment site, a new place to hold council meetings and municipal court and a public event space.
