Wrecking ball takes aim at two more Youngstown schools

By Harold Gwin

The two schools bring the number of old buildings to be demolished in recent years to 17.

YOUNGSTOWN — The city school board is moving forward with plans to raze two more old school buildings.

The board has voted to pay $10,200 to Olsavsky Jaminet Architects Inc. to prepare the demolition documents for the Adams School on Cooper Street.

Princeton School on Hillman Street is the second being targeted and demolition documents for it will come before the school board later this month, said Tony DeNiro, assistant superintendent of school business affairs.

Adams is vacant, but Princeton is being temporarily occupied by the Alpha School of Excellence which will be moving into the new Wilson Middle School now under construction on Benita Avenue. That building is to be ready for fall 2010.
