Astoria’s Lewis & Clark School, later known as the Central School, was built in the
1910s and torn down in the 1980s. The site of the former school is now the center of
interest for housing development.
HOUSING MEETINGS
Neighbors around the former Central School site have planned a meeting at 7 p.m. Monday at the Blue
Scorcher Bakery Cafe to discuss development options. Don Hanson, a consultant for interested developer
Richard Krueger, will hold a similar meeting at 6 p.m. Dec. 2, with the location yet to be determined.
