The expansion of Stewart Alternative Elementary School has cleared a significant hurdle.The Columbus Maennerchor's board of directors has approved the sale of its S.High Street property to the Columbus City Schools.
The district officially will take possession of the building when the $1.3million deal is closed, which tentatively is set for Jan. 12, said Kim Norris, spokeswoman for the district.
The district will then lease the main building back to the Maennerchor until Aug.31.
Several important legislative maneuvers remain.
The German Village and Brewery District commissions must approve the school district's plans, and the Columbus City Council must vote on vacating Pearl Street, which separates the two properties.
Meanwhile, the Maennerchor intends to move to an adjacent building, known as the Dutch House.
