Roxburian questions price of Mundy property
Roxbury resident Holly Flor asked the Region 12 Board of Education’s Building Committee at a March 28 meeting whether the Mundy site in Roxbury is a done deal to be purchased as a site for a consolidated elementary school.
The regional school board had optioned the 20-acre site last month for one year for $18,500. Some residents have argued the Mundy property, which has a $1.85 million price tag, has limitations for development as a school site.
Architects have said, however, the site would be suitable for a school and board chairman Irene Allan said there is no other centrally located site on the market.
“I question the scope of the search,” replied Ms. Flor, who remarked she had paid $605,000 for 20 adjacent acres in Roxbury last year, and also owns an additional, flat, 17-acre site.
Asked if her property is on the market, Ms. Flor replied she, and she’s sure others, would be “willing to sell anything for three times the market value.”
