The Hays USD 489 school board will consider the sale of 7.3 acres north of Felten Elementary School (the former Hays Middle School) at its meeting at 6:30 tonight.
The board voted on March 9 to reject four bids it received for the land because they were all well below the appraised value of $630,000.
However, after hearing more about the appraisal and proposals from the four bidders, the board decided to reconsider the sale at its meeting tonight.
The bidders said they hoped to build single-family homes, multi-family housing or some combination of the two if they purchase the land.
All of the bidders said they would not be able to build homes on the property if the sale price was $630,000.
