Twenty-six people voted unanimously to save and revive the Pilot Community Center, gathering last night in the century-old building on Brush Creek Road in Pilot.
“Thank you, Jesus,” said one voter. The meeting was called to help the community decide together whether to sell the old building, its land, or both, or to revive it – taking the reins from aging and gone caretakers, reimagining the old building. The two-story, cupola’d building, built in the early 20s, was originally a school. One – and the last – of six like it in the county. Several people had attended the school. The group nominated directors for a new board, and are moving forward with steps toward applying for acceptance to the National Register of Historic Places. On the sign-in sheet, there were check marks all the way down the “Willing to Help” column, one with a note that said “Not sure. Will try.”
