Ohio University declares Proctorville Center as surplus property.

Ohio University's Board of Trustees has designated their Proctorville Center as surplus property, allowing the university to sell it. The center was donated to the university in 2000 with the goal of offering classes to non-traditional students, but declining enrollment and decreased revenues have led to the decision to sell. The university says the center will only be sold to another educational organization, and any revenues from the sale will go toward scholarships, grants, and other educational areas. Community members who donated money to allow the center to open in 2007 are disappointed with the decision.
