With West Plains grappling with heavy snowfall and extreme cold temperatures, the City of West Plains would like to remind residents of additional options when it comes to staying warm this week.
Tuesday
On Tuesday, the West Plains City Hall building (1910 Holiday Lane) will remain open until 5 pm, and people are welcome to come into the building to warm up. On Tuesday evening, the building located south of the First Baptist Church main campus (202 Walnut Street) will be open from 8 pm to 6 am. Cots and some bedding will be made available at the church.
Wednesday – Friday
From Wednesday through Friday, the West Plains Civic Center (110 St. Louis Street), the West Plains Public Library (750 West Broadway), and the Jimmie Carroll Sports Complex (corner of Olden and Howell Avenue) will all be open during the day, and in the evenings First Baptist Church will continue to remain open as a warming station.
