GF schools talk swap and facility improvements

By Doug Barrett Jan 10, 2023 | 8:15 AM

As part of the planning for a new Valley Middle School project the school board last night (Monday) approved a land swap deal with the Grand Forks Park District for the reconstruction site.

Under the plan the school district will trade 1.96 acres of land where the school now sits with 1.96 acres to the west – where two ball diamonds exist.

Once the school is built the diamonds would shift to the east.

The agreement will only be executed if a school referendum passes in the spring.

Park officials O-K’d the swap last month.
