COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) Two former schools in Georgia could be redeveloped after the school board agreed to sell them.
The Muscogee County school board voted Monday to sell the former Waverly Terrace School for $425,000, while it approved an amended agreement to sell the former Rose Hill School for $450,000, The Ledger-Enquirer reported. Both are in Columbus.
School district operations chief Dave Goldberg said Cardinal Group of Denver plans to convert Waverly Terrace “into some kind of therapy program.” The 3-acre (1.2-hectare) property includes a one-story building constructed in 1920. The school most recently housed Columbus’ Early College Academy, which merged in 2019 with Jordan Vocational High School.
RSB & Bioledger release biofuels blockchain case study
The Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels (RSB) and software company Bioledger released a case study on the potential of a blockchain database to support traceability of biofuel and its feedstocks and overcome the vulnerabilities identified in securing the supply of sustainable renewables.
The report summarizes the results of a project which ran between January and November 2020. The project was made possible by a grant from the ISEAL Innovations Fund, which is supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
For the study, a blockchain database that enables verifiable proof of origin, secure consignment creation, process simplification, audit efficiency, data integrity, and central governance was prototyped and trialed with project partners to process a total of 1,927,906 liters of feedstock, accurately representing real-life commercial and operational processes.
