This has occurred in Maryland this year with Harford Tech. The school previously had a team years ago but hasn't been active for a while. They are excited about having an event at their facility.
However, getting to this stage with the school required us to have a contact from a FIRST community member and a bit of a past history. Getting buy in on the administrative level for the school and the district is more difficult when teams are not present as they don't see the direct impact right away.
This being said, if there are locations, with or without team(s), in CHP District that anyone has contacts with please forward them to your RDs. We are starting the planning process for events next year and the more sites we can look at the merrier.
