Duluth Public Schools enters into purchase agreement for much of Central Hill property

By Katie Kaufman
DULUTH — During a special school board meeting held Tuesday night, the Duluth School Board entered into a $7.4 million dollar purchase agreement with Saturday Central Heights, LLC for a 52-plus acre portion of the Central High School property on the top of the hill.

This property has been marketed to developers over the last 11 years in an attempt to find a suitable reuse for the shuttered school building and property. Over the next year, the Duluth School District, Saturday Central Heights, LLC and the City of Duluth will work together to finalize the sale and redevelopment of the property.
