October 11, 2014
The Community Action Program celebrated the opening of their newest Head Start location Friday in the Molino Community Complex on Highway 95A.
The Head Start program renovated a 3,755 building that was part of the former Molino Elementary School and next to the current Molino Branch Library. The program moved from it’s previous home in the old Ransom Middle School on Muscogee Road in Cantonment to the Molino location.
The building was originally slated to be razed when the rest of the community center was refurbished, District 5 Commissioner Steven Barry said, because the county did not have the funds for the renovation.
