Built in 1927 as the first high school in Boynton Beach, it's a building that has history. "During World War Two they conducted vaccinations there. The town, when it was out of power during the hurricanes, they use to get together in that building," said Juan Contin, architect. But for about the last 15 years, the building has been mostly vacant. The city searching for a plan of what to do with the historical property without tearing it down. "Obviously, it's got issued that need to be corrected with the paint, with a lot of decay just from being closed that long, but it's actually in very very good shape," said Contin. The city conducted a resident survey. The final decision being to turn the building into an entertainment center. The area containing restaurants, retail shops, an event center, refurbished garden and space for a farmer's market. An estimated six million dollar refurbishment project that city officials hope will become a focal point of the old downtown area and help kick start its redevelopment. However, the project was turned down. So, it's back to the drawing board...
