Staff Report

Little interest has been expressed so far in the former Dana School, with the exception of a visit by Elisabeth Kulas, director of the Housing Trust of Rutland County.

Kulas said Thursday she is interested in the building but hasn’t made any decisions yet to move forward with a purchase.

A report by the Rutland School Board’s building committee this week also revealed that the property, located in the city’s northeast neighborhood, will be listed on the real estate market until January.

The old school, located at 41 East Center St., was most recently the home of the city’s Recreation Department but was vacated last year due to safety hazards.

It is listed with Chris Fucci & Associates for $290,000.

Both sales of Dana and the former Watkins schools, which is under contract with the Trust, have to be approved by city voters this coming March.
