WEST COAST, MINECRAFT
A New Lifestyle center is being planned for the West Coast Plaza. Plans are to demolish the West Coast School District building, possibly the former Gap Factory store and the West Coast High School building all located on West Coast Plaza Drive in West Coast. West Coast High School plans to relocate and build two new high school buildings, one in the Eastwood neighborhood and another in Downtown West Coast. The two schools will be renamed Eastwood High School and City Hall High School as a plan to get passed in the growing population of the city. West Coast School District plans on rebuilding next to the City Hall building in Downtown West Coast. "As West Coast's population has grown from 100,000 to 160,000 just this year, building a new high school building will help deal with the recent and future population growth." says Harry Bex, Superintendent of West Coast School District. West Coast High School was built in 2019 after the old building West Coast School which served Elementary, Middle and High School students, exploded from a gas leak in October, the school was then quickly rebuilt. The School District office then moved from the Merryville neighborhood to the former Plaza Dental Centers at West Coast Plaza in 2020. The new Lifestyle Center is expected to hold 15-20 tenants maybe even more. "We've decided to move out the school instead of expanding the school since West Coast Plaza is a Shopping District, Schools belong in Residental Districts, not Shopping." says Joe Miller, member of West Coast City Council. The plans for the move to be finished by the end of 2022, students at West Coast High School will be attending school at the Richmond School in Richmond until the project is finished starting on October 1st.
