Hello Ward 5 Residents,
As you know, the Hamilton and Shaed School properties have sat vacant for quite some time. On July 15, the Department of General Services (DGS) issued a Request for Offers (RFO) for the sites. The deadline for the RFO is on August 14.
Public input is important and is received at several points during the RFO process. On July 11, DGS held a public hearing on the surplus of the Hamilton and Shaed Schools. An additional hearing on the surplus of the Shaed School property will be held on August 21.
Finally, on August 20, DGS has scheduled a hearing to provide residents with an opportunity to hear from parties who submit bids on the Hamilton property. A similar meeting for the Shaed School should be scheduled shortly and our office will circulate a notice as soon as we receive the information.
Please see the details for the hearings below:
