Explanation
BACKGROUND: The City of Columbus ("City") desires to convey a 52.1 +/- acre tract of real property located at the northwest corner of James Road and Ruhl Avenue ("Woodland Meadows Site") to the Board of Education of the Columbus City School District ("CCS") in exchange for a former elementary school located at 280 Reeb Avenue ("Reeb Elementary").

The property will be held by the City to complement ongoing City efforts to redevelop the Reeb-Hosack area.
