January 17, 2023 – The Decatur City Council met on January 17 to discuss several issues. It was decided that the former Woodrow Wilson school building will be demolished.
Council approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Decatur Public Schools to share the cost of demolition. The DPS School Board approved the IGA at their December 17, 2022 meeting, agreeing to pay the City one-half of the legal and demo costs.
The City will demolish the school structure and clean the site. Once cleared, the City will transfer ownership of the site to DPS-61, who will be responsible for all further maintenance and upkeep of the property.
