The old school will come down for a $25 million, 68-home development; the developer fronts demolition and asbestos costs and gets repaid from new property taxes over about eight years, with schools held harmless.

The old Marshall Middle School site is slated for 68 single-family homes by Poultry Homes, with $1.868 million in brownfield capture for demolition, asbestos abatement, and legal costs.
