Green said, “Whether you’re for bringing the Malcolm Young Community Center down or saving the community center to restore it, we want the community to be able to be those decision-makers in that regard.”
Hill said they already have the 10 registered city voters needed to start the petition process. “We have a website set up savepensacola.com. So, if you’re interested in getting a petition ballot to sign, once we get through the Supervisors of Election process here in the next couple of days, one of the petitioners on that committee will bring you the ballot to sign it.”
