As Maury County Public Schools prepares to take bids for the sale of the historic McDowell Elementary School property, some members of the Maury County Commission are considering asking the school board for the first chance to acquire the site.
Ahead of the school board’s Tuesday regular meeting, Maury County Commission Chairman Don Morrow stressing that he does not speak for the full commission told fellow commissioners that he plans to approach the school board to reiterate the county s interest in the property.
“It may be worth a visit from a district commissioner to say hold the process,” Morrow said during a county building committee meeting Monday night. “There are seven acres of land there that maybe we could utilize.”
