Greenville voters will consider whether to allow the town to seek a $1 million bond for a community recreation center that will include public preschool classrooms and a private day care.

The center would be built where the former town elementary school once stood and cost roughly $4 million. The YES Project, the group proposing the building, has already raised over $3 million in grants but said there are few funding sources left besides the town.

Town manager Mike Roy said they received those grants in part due to the unique nature of the project.

"Some of these grants that we received, Sen. Collins and Sen. King supported it because it was a collaboration between the town, the school and the private sector, and they liked that part of it, that collaboration," said Roy.
