Gilbert Public Schools has agreed to sell the former Neely Traditional Academy campus to the Town of Gilbert for $6.85 million.
The Governing Board last week approved the cash sale of the 13.6-acre property near Elliot and Gilbert roads. Town Council is scheduled to vote on the deal on Tuesday, Dec. 14.
The acquisition will support the construction of the Vaughn Avenue Ventilator project, create new ingress and egress for improved circulation, access for pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use development, and address storm-water retention needs in the Heritage District, according to Town spokeswoman Jennifer Harrison.
The money for the property will come out of the town general funds.
