Barrow seeks new middle school site
The Barrow County School System will soon begin to look for a new location for a new middle school.
Details could never be ironed out with the county concerning the installation for sewer on the proposed Mulberry Road site.
Assistant superintendent for facilities Jake Grant told superintendent Ron Saunders and Board of Education members last week it will take approximately three years to build the new middle school once the bonds are sold.
“There could be a one-year extension,” Grant said.
The new facility will be part of the Winder-Barrow cluster and will be a $16.8 million project.

I suppose the county would rather steal land than accept it.
A better plan would be for the BOC to do a land swap with the BOE, which would secure and protect the site for a future reservoir and provide a more "usable" location for a new school cluster.
Sometimes a gift horse is a Trojan horse...
For those that don't attend the BOC meeting, that dirty little deal with Stells was done by the old BOC not the new. This is not to say the new BOC is any better just letting you know.
So, your proposal is for the government to steal the land and hold it for decades until a new reservoir can be built? Since you don't want swarms of people to move in, we might never need it.
It's a moot point regarding the donation since the lousy economy killed the proposed development/donation anyway.
