Corbin BOE purchases property near high school

The Corbin Board of Education has purchased a piece of property adjacent to its high school campus.

On Dec. 26, Ledford Perry and Judy Perry sold property near Early Avenue to the Corbin Board of Education for $70,000, according to a deed filed with the Whitley County Clerk’s Office.

Corbin Board of Education Chairperson Todd Childers signed the deed on behalf of the school board.

Superintendent Dave Cox said there is an old house on the property, and it is right across the street from the career center in the back adjacent to the parking lot.

“It is possible we are going to do some parking there. The board has yet to decide that,” Cox said. “We are just out of parking back there. If we put our auxiliary gym on the side where the career center is, then we lose that parking lot.”
