Closed school becomes library, county building

   April 7, 2010

Not in Pensacola, not in Brownsville.

The Molino School closed in 2003. Its campus includes 9.66 acres and four buildings. Superintendent Thomas didn’t offer a lease agreement like the one given in Mobile ($10/year for 48 years). Instead Escambia County bought it for $400,000 in May 2009 with Local Option Sales Tax dollars. Read more.

As mentioned before, Thomas first demanded $1.9 million for Brownsville Middle School, then $1.4 million and finally set the minimum at $1 million. Commissioner Marie Young made no effort to help Rev. May or the community buy the property with LOST funds. She has repeatedly expressed no interest in a community center there.
