The Jonathan Alder Board of Education approved a measure this month to allow administrators to seek bids for the demolition of 340 W. Main St. in Plain City. The project has an estimated cost of $830,000 but the district applied for a Site Revitalization Program grant and will receive a significant amount to support the costs of the demolition. The fence seen above was installed around the former elementary school property to protect against bricks from the upper level falling onto the grounds. While no plans have been solidified, district officials have said the property’s future would likely be part of the master planning discussions this fall.
