Mid-March deadline for Sonora Elementary bids

Hardin County Schools are seeking bids for the sale of the former Sonora Elementary School building. Potential buyers have until 2 p.m. March 16 to make a bid, said Gary Milby, associate superintendent for finance and construction.

An advertisement soliciting bids has been published and an open house was held Wednesday for interested buyers to look at the property.

The building was declared surplus property by the Kentucky Department of Education, Milby said. Sonora and Upton elementaries were replaced with Creekside Elementary School in 2005.

Sonora Mayor Larry Copelin said the city had made an offer to HCS for the building, but it was declined.
