CLEVELAND, Tenn. – City school officials told the Cleveland City Council on Monday that the Hardwick Farms site on North Lee Highway is the best site for a new elementary school.
The city school board picked the site last week.
Murl Dirksen, the school board’s site committee chairman, said negotiations will begin now with the property owners.
The owners plan to develop a residential and commercial community on the farm, and that alone could equal a new school, Dirksen said.
“Nobody has set a price yet,” Dirksen said.
