YMCA buys Support Services property

School board members last night took another step in replacing the district's aging Support Services facility by unanimously approving the sale of the property and building at 325 S. Park St. to the YMCA.

The YMCA agreed to pay $580,000 for the property which represents the appraised market value.

The YMCA also set-up a long-term lease agreement with the district per the land and property purchase deal. The agreement offers the district a five-year lease for $1 per year. After the five-year period, the district has the option to renew it annually at fair market value.

"This will allow the district to continue using the property until the district's new site west of 13th Avenue is developed," Superintendent Rich Carter said. "This is a win-win situation for the school district and YMCA."
