From the meeting
On August 17, 2026 the commission moved the former Washington Elementary School site at 1200 Ryan Avenue forward for a planned unit development with a second reading set for September 8, 2026. Cloverland Electric Cooperative, through Sidock Group, proposed converting the former school into a lineman training facility and adding about 10,000 square feet of training space and support rooms. The project is still in land-use approval and later site plan review, so the near-term seller angle is design, engineering, and construction planning.
The property would also move from public ownership to the tax rolls if completed.
