It appears an eyesore in the village of Silver Creek is finally going to be addressed.
On Wednesday, the Chautauqua County Legislature voted to sell the old Silver Creek School, located at 60 Main St. for $1 to Region Nine UAW Housing Corporation of New Brunswick, N.J. The sale is scheduled to be completed by Dec. 31, 2023.
According to the resolution, the former school will be renovated into 47 affordable apartments for people 55 and older.
The resolution states the purchase is contingent upon the purchaser receiving necessary tax credits, financing, governmental approvals and permits for the project.
The former school has been empty for decades. It has been vacant since 1978 and has been a long-standing eyesore and safety hazard for the community. Several plans through the years have been made to restore the building. None have gotten past the planning stage.
