LXCL:Working to renovate and preserve the 1929 Myrtle Springs schoolhouse which will be used as a community center, to provide services to families, seniors, and children across Myrtle Springs and nearby rural areas. Site facilities also include a ballfield, updated playground, picnic areas and more. Once completed, the building can be used for many special events and as a party venue.
