Gov. Jennifer Granholm has officially signed off on the sale of the Michigan School for the Deaf | abc12.com
It's now a done deal. Gov. Jennifer Granholm has officially signed off on the sale of the Michigan School for the Deaf in Flint.
That now clears the way for a developer to buy the campus, renovate it and turn it into the new home of both the School for the Deaf and Powers Catholic High School.
It was late Wednesday that Granholm signed off on the sale of the property. Many are calling it a welcome Christmas present as it was one of the governor's last acts before the Christmas break.
According to officials with the developers Lurvey-White, what that means is they can move ahead with the $36 million renovation plans on the campus.
As we've reported in the past, they plan on redoing portions of the campus with the expectation that Powers Catholic High School will move there.
They will also create new, state-of-the-art facilities for the Michigan School for the Deaf.
One of the first matters of business, developers say, involves a series of meetings Jan. 10 with alumni, administration and students at MSD to gather their input and seek their support while revising designs to meet their needs.
Developers hope to hear soon about Powers' fundraising efforts for their portion of the MSD property.
For those who have been backing the sale, the governor's signature is seen as a positive move for the entire community.
