School Board to Hearings on Demolition

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone School Board will hold two public hearings during their Tuesday meeting to address the proposed demolition of two vacant former elementary school buildings. The only offer that had been received was not finalized, so the process to proceed with demolition was begun. A more accurate cost for demolition has been made available for Board consideration and it exceeds the original estimates. The Board has repeatedly held the position that the buildings would be demolished if an appropriate use, benefiting the neighborhoods and the community could not be found.
