14 Gary school properties sold; 6 transactions pending

GARY — The Gary Community School Corp. is progressing in its goal to sell dozens of vacant and blighted school buildings. The district has sold 14 properties — including its Wirt-Emerson Visual and Performing Arts Academy, closed in 2018 — school leaders announced this week. Many of the building have sat empty for years, developing into both neighborhood eyesores and magnets for crime across the city. The Gary school corporation publicly listed two dozen sites for sale in early 2020, following orders from city leaders to demolish buildings at more than half a dozen of the district’s most troublesome sites. In early March, Gary schools’ leadership announced interest had been expressed for all 24 properties listed — totaling more than 70 offers.
