For the second time in two months, the Moline School District is preparing to sell an old school. Tuesday is the deadline to submit sealed bids for Garfield School.
In December, Heritage Church was the only bidder for Ericsson School. The district is selling both, and will send many of their students to Hamilton School which is being extensively re-modeled and expanded and will re-open in the fall.
Like Ericsson, the minimum bid for Garfield is 50,000 dollars, due by 2 pm on Tuesday.
Built in 1901, Garfield has more than 37,000 square feet, sits on 2.3 acres, and is located in the 15-hundred block of 25th Avenue, in Moline.
