Thousands of persons reportedly have signed petitions opposing plans to construct Lewiston’s million-dollar junior high school on the 32-acre plot off East Avenue and Montello Street in favor of building at Marcotte Park.
Ward Five Alderman Frank J. Bussiere said last night the petitions have been inked by approximately 4,000 persons during the past several days.
Bussiere is a leading opponent to proposals to construct the school along East Avenue and Montello Street and the petitions probably will be presented to the city council in the near future.
