Kingdom Life Fellowship requests use of former Meadows Elementary as community resource
Summary
A representative of Kingdom Life Fellowship asked the board to consider repurposing the former Meadows Elementary site for community services including food giveaways, childcare and tutoring.
Jim Workman, deacon and outreach director at Kingdom Life Fellowship, addressed the Cabell County Board of Education during the July 1 public comment period to express interest in using the former Meadows Elementary building as a community resource.
Workman said Kingdom Life has experience repurposing properties for community use and outlined services the organization could provide, including food distribution, childcare, children's and parent activities and tutoring. "We would provide tremendous value and support, for the people of Huntington and Cabell County," he said.
Workman noted Kingdom Life currently operates a repurposed former auto dealership in Nitro and said the group hopes to expand that model into Huntington. He also thanked the board for recognizing the young writers earlier in the meeting.
The transcript records the public comment but does not show any board response or formal action on the request during the meeting excerpt; next steps or any staff follow‑up were not specified in the segment.
