The Lawrence County Board of Education will pay the county just under 3 million dollars for the Lawrence County Community Center, with the official appraised value set at $2,944,000 dollars.
Superintendent Katie Webb says that figure was determined by a state-approved appraiser working with the Kentucky Department of Education, and both the Board of Education and the Fiscal Court have agreed to it as the purchase price.
The board plans to turn the building into an early childhood facility while keeping the large meeting room available for community use.
Judge/Executive Phil Carter has not yet said publicly how the county plans to spend the money from the sale.
