Lynchburg School Board to listen to public hearing on the future of T.C Miller elementary school
LYNCHBURG, Va. (WFXR) – The Lynchburg School Board will meet on April 8th at 5 p.m. to discuss the future of T.C. Miller Elementary School and listen to the community's opinions.
Interim superintendent Dr. Ben Copeland presented a four-phase project to help with elementary efficiency. In phase one, which would be implemented next year, would close T.C. Miller as a K-5 school and repurpose it to serve early elementary education. Those zoned to T.C Miller would move to Perrymount or R.S. Payne. It would also rezone the Birchwood, Florida Ave, and the Winston ridge neighborhoods

'We have to make some decisions, we have to move forward on a plan. So I think the plan that Dr. Copland came up with, although it causes some pain for some people, I believe it gets us moving in the right direction to become fiscally responsible,' said Daryl Conner, a board member.
Dr. Copeland says this transition could save the district $1 billion. These changes would be implemented in the 2025 to 2026 school year. Phases two through four would take place until 2030.

Your Stories Q&A: Any plans to redevelop the old Club 37 in Salina?
SALINA, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — You ask, we answer! Viewer Question: Club 37 in Salina has been sitting empty for years. Are there any plans to tear down the old club and redevelop the property? Club 37, off Route 11, near the Salina/Clay border, has been closed for over 20 years. Before it shuttered, it was the place to be seen on Friday nights. Many of our viewers have great memories, spending time at the nightclub in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Now, the once hot spot has become an eyesore of a vacant lot. The club is still standing, but it can be hard to see from Route 11 because of the overgrown bushes. Those bushes block the building and the graffiti that's been painted on the exterior. The viewer who asked the question was hopeful there was a plan for redeveloping the run-down piece of property, seeing how just a few doors down, the vacant Ponderosa was recently renovated. That building is now the new home of the Daily Diner. There are no plans for redevelopment on the radar. For years, the property has been listed for lease or sale by Pavia Real Estate. Dominic Pavia told NewsChannel 9, there's been interest over the years, but no deal has made it across the finish line. He said the property is currently available for redevelopment. In the event a deal is made in the future, the old Club 37 will be demolished for new construction. We'll keep tabs on this property and let you know if there are any developments on redevelopment.

These DMV services will soon be available in Coral Gables. It's a ‘major step'
Miami-Dade County is celebrating what local officials are calling a 'major step' with the launch of several essential services in Coral Gables — for the first time ever. Residents will be able to access these services 'without leaving their community,' announced Miami-Dade Tax Collector Dariel Fernández on social media Tuesday. From his X account, Fernández thanked Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago and the City Commission 'for their support and collaboration in making this possible.' New office offering driver's licenses and more 'For the first time in history, the Miami-Dade Tax Collector's Office will open a permanent location in the City of Coral Gables,' Fernández said. The new office will allow Coral Gables residents and businesses to access a range of essential services currently provided by the County Tax Collector's Office, including: ▪ Issuance of driver's licenses and REAL ID cards ▪ Vehicle tag and registration renewals ▪ Property and business tax payments 'We are committed to providing efficient and accessible public service — and this new office is a big step forward,' said Fernández, who has consistently expressed interest in expanding these services to areas of Miami-Dade where they are not yet available. According to a press release, following the approval of a lease agreement, the office will be located at 224 Minorca Ave., Coral Gables, FL 33134. The lease and office build-out are expected to begin soon, the release stated.

He has also championed measures to reduce chaos at Florida Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) locations, including the introduction of legislation that would fine individuals for scalping driver's license and ID appointments. Additionally, his office has taken over the management of some former DMV-operated sites — such as the busy Mall of the Americas center, which had drawn complaints about long wait times and inadequate service.
