Gateway Community Action Partnership will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony at 9 a.m., Wednesday, September 6 at its new Pleasantville Head Start center, 49 S. Main St., Pleasantville.

  The event will officially open the new 5,000 square foot center that features three classrooms and indoor and outdoor play areas for 38 children in Early Head Start and Head Start. The new center, built by RPM Consulting in collaboration with the City of Pleasantville and the Pleasantville School District, increases enrollment by eight children and adds an Early Head Start component in one classroom to go along with two Head Start classrooms. Ten people will be employed at the center, which is under the direction of Site Director Andrea Ramsey.

  The facility continues the agency’s work with the city and other community partners to improve Pleasantville through development and new construction.
