It makes me sick that this property will not be either a High School or something that will create major jobs in the area. PLEASE let it not be the armory. The ARMORY does NOT need prime property.
A technology park would never work there.
Rather like placing an animal shelter on prime Beltline property is it not???
The country club doesn't really work - buy that property.
Most feel that a location for one new school would have to be equal distant from the most extreme at each school. What do you folks think?
terrible location for a high school. the armory is already on prime property. why put the high school in the far corner of the city?
I wouldn't call that end of Hwy 31 "prime property". I mean no one has tried to buy it in the 15 years it's been mostly empty.
.
It's also not centralized enough to support a school for the entire city. they city would loose it's butt on having to bus everyone out there.
Terrible location. That spot is quite low, plus it backs up to Flint Creek and the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge. Parts have been known to flood.
Bulldoze the fairgrounds and build it there . . . . if it is large enough.
Dumb idea. Plus, there has been no recognized need for a new $80M high school, it is merely Ed's need for a legacy.
