Commission To Consider 5-Year Lease Of Fenwick
City commissioners will weigh an ordinance to lease Fenwick High School property to the Archdiocese of Cincinnati for five years. The site, once the South School, was leased to the archdiocese in 1952 after the city acquired it from the Middletown School Board in exchange for park land now Taft School. Also on the agenda is a contract with Armco Steel Corp for fire protection on land near the city limits, including the former Warren Steel Co building purchased by Armco last year. Manager Thompson will present bids tabulation for demolishing the two story frame at 1135 37 Central Ave to clear space for a 48 car parking lot. The city recently obtained the triangular tract with a long term lease with an option to purchase. Only two bids were received, both requiring the city to cover demolition costs. Commissioners will also hear estimates for April sewer and building projects.
