City Buys Lot for Planned Kensington School

The School Construction Authority recently purchased the empty lot at 701-11 Caton Avenue, between East 7th and 8th streets, where a new school is planned. According to public records, the SCA spent $8.8 million on the property. According to the Kensington Area Resident/Merchant Alliance’s blog, there was a public hearing in February for the proposed pre-K through 8th grade school and the school is likely in the design phase right now. Plans call for a 750-seat school that’s around 20,000 square feet. GMAP
