MOUNTAIN IRON â Itâs been a few years since the old Mountain Iron-Buhl school brimmed with life.
Aside from the gym being used for occasional practices and activities, the building in downtown Mountain Iron has mostly sat vacant since the new MI-B seventh to 12th grade school opened adjacent to Merritt Elementary during the 2018-2019 school year.
But the old school is on the verge of possibly hosting student activity once again following the recent sale of the building.
The MI-B School Board at the end of February approved a $40,000 purchase agreement with three buyers from northwestern Wisconsin, who have a trifold plan for the structure, including using gym space to host AAU basketball tournaments.
