Board approves purchase of final parcel at Sam Center and Arthur to consolidate campus
Summary
The Solon Board of Education authorized purchase of the property at 6830 Sam Center Road to consolidate district-owned land around the campus and preserve options for future building or construction.
The Solon Board of Education approved a purchase agreement June 30 to acquire the property at 6830 Sam Center Road, a parcel the presenter described as the final piece of land needed to consolidate school district property between Orchard and Arthur roads.
The presenter said ownership of the parcel will allow the district to ‘‘consolidate the campus’’ and keep options open for any future building or construction that voters and the board might deem necessary. "You can't create new land," the presenter said, arguing land consolidation is a strategic step for long-term facilities planning.
The motion to approve the purchase was moved by Mr. Patton and seconded by Mr. Heckman; the board approved the motion by roll call. No public comments on the purchase were recorded during the meeting's public-comment opportunities.
Board materials referenced an attached option agreement with details of the property; the transcript did not state the purchase price.
