Sherman employees are among those touring the old Central High School, now the central administration building. Bruce Wyman, executive director of the Hillside Business Association, arranged the tour. Preservationists affiliated with the school district's long-range citizens' planning committee want the building to remain in school district control.
Another property is the Armory building on London Road, which one developer want to convert into upscale housing. No additional details will be released before Wednesday's school board meeting, he says.
The fourth building, the former Merritt Elementary School, will be put up for sale this summer. Merritt, which closed as an elementary school in 1993, will be marketed when its occupants are relocated this summer.
Two non-school structures -- the district transportation center at 3200 W. Superior St. and its storeroom and utility shop at 330 Garfield Ave. – are also attracting developers.
The district's warehouse property, zoned for manufacturing or commercial development, is across Garfield Avenue from undeveloped land being marketed by Sherman Associates.
