HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson USD 308 School Board will give consideration to the sale of some property that would be used by the YMCA for future parking.

The board will take action on the sale of a small grassy area in front of the Education Service Center, just west of the Y. The land will allow the Y to expand parking. The Y had been using city-owned parking on the north side of the Sports Arena until arena expansion eliminated that parking.

The YMCA would purchase and maintain the property while the school keeps the building and is allowed to have bus loading in front of the E.S.C. south entrance.

The YMCA would be responsible for construction costs and maintaining the property. USD 308 would be given easement for a limited number of reserved parking spaces south of the building. The district would also retain all parking west and north of the E.S.C.

Tonight’s meeting of the USD 308 School Board beings at 6 p.m. at the school district offices at 1520 N. Plum.
