Meier farm -- sale in the offing?

News reports abound this week that the Spearfish School Board has selected the "Meier property" just north of Yellowstone Place as the site for a new East Elementary School building.

Here's a link to the Black Hills Pioneer story on the subject.

YPA board president Lorraine Collins has agreed to contact school superintendent Dave Peters to express our interest in keeping abreast of school plans as the project unfolds -- hopefully having some input to planning of the campus in a way that might minimize potential problems between the school and Yellowstone Place.

Of course, it's not a done deal, since the school district and Meier's must reach an agreement on the price of the land. We'll try to post any updates as they're made available.
