The exact location wasn't ironed out, but the concept was the favorite for short and long term economical reasons.
The short term was to share a cafeteria, gym, library and sports facilities. Less money to build.
The long term was in the event of more population decline and consolidate further. One school would serve as the single county high school. The other would serve as the single county middle school.
It was a great idea on paper, but the citizens were simply not going to support it.
