Located on a 16-acre parcel of land, the former public school will house 71 senior apartments, a senior center, and an after-school recreation space for the local Boys and Girls Club. There will also be a 4,000 sf gallery, paying homage to the schools history as Annapolis's only school for blacks during Maryland's pre-desegregation days. A groundbreaking for the project took place in June 1999 and bricks were laid. Also, $3 million was invested for the removal of asbestos in the building and roof repairs. The county is seeking bids from developers that must be submitted March 4.
