Developer, Hornell district agree to $500K for Bryant School
Sale of school requires voter approval
The Evening Tribune
HORNELL A Rochester-based realty development company and the Hornell City School District have agreed to a $500,000 deal for the purchase of the Bryant Elementary School, district and company officials announced at a school board meeting Wednesday night.
Park Grove Realty plans to convert the elementary school into a 39-unit, “work-force housing” apartment complex.
The transaction must still be approved by the Hornell Board of Education and also by school district voters in a referendum, likely to take place this coming spring.
Hornell School Superintendent Jeremy Palotti introduced the issue at Wednesday night’s meeting, saying, “I know this a sensitive topic for the community.”
