Last week the Belmond City Council voted to continue to move forward with the acquisition of the former Parker school building and related parcels pursuant to an agreement signed by both the city and the Build A Better Belmond organization.
At the present time, the City of Belmond is trying to obtain the title for the building. The city approved an agreement with Build A Better Belmond for them to take over the building once the city would obtain the title.
Build A Better Belmond then would be responsible for the demolition of the building. Future use of the property is currently open, but it may just be used as a green space.
