Locals seek to revive the Clancy Old Gym

For nearly a decade, Clancy School’s former gym has sat empty, and for the last three years a group of concerned community members have set out to change that.

In January, a group of community members – including Jefferson Local Development Corporation Executive Director/Child Care Coordinator Lindsey Graham, JLDC Project Coordinator Leah Lewis and Clancy community members Mickey Senechal, Dani Morris and Chris Davis – approached the Jefferson County Commissioners hoping to move the gym restoration project forward.

The first thing the group was looking for, according to Commissioner Cory Kirsch, was money to replace the gym floor. Beyond some financial backing, the group also hoped the County would secure a lease on the building.
