Months after much of the former MacMurray College campus was sold at auction, some of the plans for the closed school are starting to come into focus.Journal-Courier
More plans are in the works for the buildings that were recently sold on the former MacMurray College campus, as the new owners take over responsibility for their purchases.
The MacMurray College Board of Trustees received just over $1.5 million from the auction of the 18 parcels last year following the school’s closing.
Since then, several of the buildings have found purpose for their new owners, while others are being developed or in the process of being discussed for zoning by the Jacksonville City Council.
