TURIN â With a number of dollars and just the right dream, you, too, could own an elementary school in Lewis County.
The soon-to-be former Port Leyden and Glenfield elementary schools are now listed for sale with Good Morning Realtyâs commercial division for $150,000 and $300,000, respectively.
At the end of this school year, the two schools will be decommissioned as determined by South Lewis Central School District voters when they approved the two closures in order to consolidate all schools onto the South Lewis campus in Turin. To do so, a $39 million capital project to build a new elementary school was approved by 130 votes, 732-602, in early November 2018, after a number of previous attempts at consolidation were voted down over the years.
