Determining what to do with the 13.3-acre site of the former Milton J. Fuller Elementary School is going to be one of the major tasks of 2013 for Gloucester Mayor Carolyn Kirk and the City Council.

An online survey taken this fall to gauge public sentiment drew 800 responses, which Kirk said indicated support for the option she favored: a lease/sale agreement with a YMCA or similar organization — such as a Jewish community center — with a new, abutting police-fire facility; some office space for municipal employees; and the preschool that is currently operating there.
