It sucks to hear about this building burning, but it looks like the renovation of the school is still moving forward...

Jim Huffstetler, project manager for the pending renovation project on campus, read the news first thing Friday morning on macon.com.

“I got this sick feeling in my stomach,” said Huffstetler, who rushed to the scene from north Bibb County. “It was nerve-racking.”

Upon arrival, he realized the classic castle-like structure, that will be the centerpiece of the development, was not affected.

The gym was not part of the planned A.L. Miller Village, but had been discussed as a possible location for a new Senior Center, he said.

Thick smoke and embers were blowing from the gym as the flames raged in the largely wooden building.
