Hagloch Favors Memorial At RMA Site

Even though two Roosevelt Military Academy buildings are now slated for demolition, Aledo Mayor Chris Hagloch favors some type of memorial at the property.

The Aledo City Council approved a $153,000 bid from Valley Construction of Rock Island last week to bring down Niles Hall and the North Barracks. RMA closed in 1973 and the two buildings have crumbled beyond repair. A monument at the Mercer County Courthouse honors RMA.
