Hi Joe,

In  regards to the email you sent last night--well, I couldn't have said it 
any better.

Yes, they have put a great deal of money into that  deaf school over the 
years.

I worked at the blind school there part time a while back--sort of got out 
of the  loop when I was sick for so long. I like working there and also 
liked working with the folks that work there though and I must  applaud the 
deaf for advocating for the school.




Best,
Georgia

GENESEE COUNTY, Michigan — Powers Catholic High School officials have 
confirmed their interest in relocating to a renovated school on the Michigan 
School

for the Deaf's Miller Road campus.



The private school's search for a new home has led officials to consider "at 
least a couple dozen places" in the past eight years and

the proposed deal

between the state and private developer Lurvey White Ventures is happening 
with Powers in mind as a future tenant, Powers principal Tom Furnas said 
today.



"One of the things we like about it is it's a mature campus," Furnas said.

proposed renovation of the Michigan School for the Deaf campus, which would 
be shared

with Powers Catholic High School under the plan.



Members of both the state House and Senate have introduced bills that would

OK offering the state-owned property

for $1.3 million to Lurvey White Ventures.



The developer would build a new school for the MSD and lease it to the state 
for a base rent of no more than $2,060,000, according to the bill.



If the state approves the purchase and Powers is able to meet fundraising 
goals for the move, Furnas said Powers students would attend classes in the 
new

building beginning with the 2012-2013 school year.
