Korn

From A1

After Korn School closed in 2018, Durham residents overwhelmingly rejected bonding $7 million to acquire the building, located at 144 Pickett Lane, and convert it into a community center.

Then, in 2021, the Durham Board of Selectmen turned down an offer from Regional School District 13 to take ownership of the Korn property. At that point, then-First Selectman Laura Francis pasta, rice, sauce, tuna, et cetera, are what families and individuals need daily, it is wonderful to offer something special.”

“We are so grateful and fortunate to have her support,” D’Orvilliers said. “Who doesn’t love Girl Scout cookies?” nzappone@record-journal.com

203-317-2212 said, “I think it would be irresponsible for us to take it because, with the privilege of owning a building of that size, we cannot ignore that the costs are going to be significant. It is an older building, it needs to be updated.”

Still, many residents wanted to see the Korn property become a community center, and a petition gathered enough signatures to force a referendum.

Finally, on May 4, 2021, voters approved of the Town of Durham taking ownership of the former Korn School.
