Hearing On Proposed Sale Of Fulton Elementary Set

The Dubuque Community School Board has scheduled a public hearing on the proposed sale of the former Fulton Elementary School. The hearing will be held at 4:30pm on  Wednesday at the Forum Chaney Road. Board members last week voted, 7-0, to proceed with the sale of Fulton to Dubuque Dream Center, which plans to renovate the building and use it as a second operational site. School board members solicited bids for the building this summer after the school closed at the end of the 2021-2022 school year. The Dream Center was the only bidder, with an offer of $500,000, but a recent appraisal valued the property at $890,000. After rejecting the bid initially, the board decided to accept the offer.
