Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools wants to hear what people in the Brunson Elementary School community think about building a replacement school on the site of a former furniture plant on North Patterson Avenue.
On Tuesday, the boardâs building and grounds committee gave district leaders the go-ahead to conduct a survey about the site at 1201 N. Patterson Ave., the former home of Thomasville Furnitureâs Plant H, which closed in 2003. The school district has been evaluating property to build a new Brunson for more than a year, a challenging task considering the lack of large plots within the schoolâs boundaries. School leaders said Tuesday that the North Patterson site is their top choice. Itâs also the cheapest, with a project cost of $34.6 million.
