Summary
The Warren City School District board approved a resolution directing staff to transfer a 1.266-acre parcel to the regional authority to support a student recreation and wellness center and enable affordable-housing development by a partner organization; the board cited compliance with the Ohio Revised Code.
Warren City School District trustees voted to approve a resolution directing district officials to transfer title of a 1.266-acre parcel (Parcel No. 38-003504, Bonnie Gray, Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio) to the West Reserve authority to support construction tied to Harding High School and future affordable housing.
The resolution instructs the superintendent, treasurer and executive director of business operations to take “all actions necessary to transfer title and ownership” of the property to the regional authority and says the transfer is intended to generate future tax revenue for the board. It also notes the Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership’s desire to develop affordable housing on the site and that the authority intends to support a student recreation and wellness center at Harding High School.
Board members discussed the measure in open session and stated the formal action complies with applicable provisions of the Ohio Revised Code. Following a second, the board approved the resolution on a roll-call vote.
The resolution text in the public packet included the parcel number and a stated area of 1.266 acres. The board’s remarks referenced the student recreation and wellness center, which the board said has received partial state and federal grant funding in recent years; the packet and public comments did not provide a full funding breakdown in this meeting.
Next steps directed by the motion include administrative steps to transfer title; the resolution sets no public timeline in the board record and does not specify terms of future conveyance or development agreements. The board chair said staff will carry out the transfer actions required by the resolution.
The board’s action does not itself approve any specific development contract or detailed financing for the affordable housing project; the transcript records that the Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership expressed interest in developing the site and that the authority intends to transfer future tax revenue to the district, but detailed project agreements were not included in the packet presented at the meeting.
