Bryan ISD school board members are told the 95 acres of land recently purchased from Blinn College on the district’s west side could accommodate more than its intended purpose of a new transportation and maintenance center.
During their November 1st meeting, the board was told BISD’s finance and bond committees are considering whether to build a new warehouse complex at Harvey Mitchell Parkway and Leonard Road.
Current plans are repairing the warehouse and annex at a cost of $6.9 million dollars. New construction is estimated to cost $9.7 million.
Board member Ruthie Waller supported replacement, while board member David Stasny wanted to know if repairs are a better value than replacing the space.
The board was also told there was enough land to build a future middle school.
