School District U-46 plans to buy the David C. Cook property at 850 N. Grove Ave. in Elgin, including its warehouse building, as the site of a new elementary school it plans to build.
The purchase is part of the Unite U-46 initiative under which the district’s oldest buildings are being retired and replaced with modern schools, sixth-grade students are being moved into the same middle school buildings as seventh- and eighth-graders, early learning programs are added being to some elementary schools, and all school buildings are being evaluated and improved.
“We are always excited by any projects with potential to enhance our neighborhood,” Fitzgerald said. “NENA has taken an active interest in the DC Cook property since before the main building was demolished and hoped for a suitable repurposing of the structure.” The south end of the property is across from the Elgin Riverside Club on Lincoln Avenue, which could present a challenge for the district.
