--TALLADEGA--Talladega County Schools Superintendent Dr. Cindy Elsberry thanked the Sylacauga City Council Thursday for voting to transfer city property to be used as a future field house at B.B. Comer Memorial High School. The council's vote seals a deal that has been in the works for more than a year. The two-tenths of an acre are adjacent to the Comer football field, part of county property, but inside the Sylacauga city limits.
Elsberry said, "Comer is a big part of the city of Sylacauga. Even though they are not in the city limits, they feel Sylacauga is their home. The fact that we are collaborating and working together is extremely valuable."
The council declared the property as surplus at its meeting on Wednesday commenting to The Daily Home newspaper that it is not needed for public or municipal purposes.
Comer High School Principal Linda McAdam said the current facility used by the school’s athletes is in deplorable condition, causing the need for a new facility.
McAdam told The Daily Home, "This facility will not cost the city a cent, but will add value to the stadium."
