| Alternative school site. |
SECTION STREET AT TWIN BEECH ROAD
Mayor Sullivan recently confirmed the city's imminent purchase of the old alternative school site from the Baldwin Board of Education: a purchase resolution should be coming before the city council for a vote shortly.
Local School Board Representative Christenberry confirmed it was in the works too; complex deed-related issues were still being worked out by attorneys just like with the city's K-1 school purchase four years ago he said.
He added that it was once-planned to build a new school there, but the state BOE will not permit it now because the site does not meet current specifications (too small).
The 14 acre site has been appraised for $665K, for tax purposes.
'HOPE COMMUNITY' PLANS
Last July, Sean Graham president of The Hope Community nonprofit organization presented their plans to the city council for a garden/park and community center there (Anna T. Jeanes Center and Teaching Farm); but no mention of a city purchase was made at that time publicly.
