Mayor Summers Breaks Ground On McKinley Place Development
Mayor Michael Summers recently broke ground on the McKinley Place development, with representatives from Liberty Development and the Lakewood City Schools.
Lakewood City Council approved the $500,000 sale of the former McKinley School to Liberty Development earlier this year.
The $12 million project includes building 40, for-sale residential units on the 2.8-acre property.
In early February, both the city’s Planning Commission and the Architectural Board of Review approved the plans after months of public hearings. The city of Lakewood purchased the property from the Lakewood Board of Education in October 2013.
“This approval represents a culmination of an important collaborative partnership between the city, the Board of Education and Liberty Development," said Mayor Michael Summers. “This is will be a wonderful addition to our community.”
