The closing comes almost exactly one year after the Erie School Board approved the sale for a reported price of $110,000.
At that time, that group’s executive director, Gary Horton, said he envisioned a transformation that would turn the former school into a hub for the neighborhood and provide hope and opportunity for young people.
