GARY â The Gary Community School Corp. is progressing in its goal to sell dozens of vacant and blighted school buildings.
The district has sold 14 properties â including its Wirt-Emerson Visual and Performing Arts Academy, closed in 2018 â school leaders announced this week.
Many of the building have sat empty for years, developing into both neighborhood eyesores and magnets for crime across the city.
The Gary school corporation publicly listed two dozen sites for sale in early 2020, following orders from city leaders to demolish buildings at more than half a dozen of the districtâs most troublesome sites.
In early March, Gary schoolsâ leadership announced interest had been expressed for all 24 properties listed â totaling more than 70 offers.
caucus. on the governor s side you have a lot of hispanic and indiana-american governor es showing the way. you make the point that four of the five women serving as governors in 2013 are republicans. you look at large majorities of african-americans. latino and asian americans voting democratic, the question may be how important for the gop s future are women and minority governors to the party, and they clearly have more at this point than actually the democrats do at that level? yeah, it s really remarkable when you look at the the governors and how they have a much more diversity and ethnicity and in gender. and it s a real model when you look at the the exit polling data showing how badly romney underperformed with female voters and how he just did terribly with hispanics and asian-americans. you look at if identity is going to be a big factor in the upcoming election. you can look at susan martinez and bobby jindal.
