Sellers refuse Dist.
On March 26, the Donnelly family turned down Farmington School District 192 s latest proposal to purchase property for a new elementary school, which included a triple land swap sale. The district s latest proposal involved the Donnellys selling half of their ear-marked site of 61 acres to the district. In turn, they would purchase from the district, the western half of the Ordell and Helen Nordseths 152-acre property site. Robert Donnelly, spokesperson for the Donnelly family whose 61-acre site originally had been a forerunner for the new elementary school site said, We re not going to accept it. Donnelly said the portion of the Nordseth property, which the district has proposed as a replacement property in a land sale to the Donnellys, is not workable.
