2022-272 - Sale of Former John Wickes School Building & Property Plat 347, Lot 476

The City’s intention is to sell the property for development in order to generate tax revenue for the City in addition to providing housing opportunities, and open space. The City will consider proposals to reuse the site for residential housing units commensurate with housing density of the surrounding neighborhood in accordance with the A-7 zone district. Bidders who intend to bid a higher price than that of an A-7 density yield by pursuing zoning relief through an overlay or variance, shall do so at their own risk. The deed for conveyance shall be recorded prior to the submission of any land development application.
This is an “As is” fee simple sale to the highest, sealed bidder. Should the highest bidder withdraw at any point in the process prior to closing, the second highest bidder will be pursued by the City.
