Superintendent says talks started on 495 apartments near Airport Plaza; Northside enrollment could be affected
What happened
On April 15 the superintendent said the district began early talks with Heatherwood Development about turning state-owned land near Airport Plaza into a 495-unit apartment complex. He said it is four to seven years away and the district is watching possible enrollment effects at Northside Elementary.
Why it matters to families
New housing could add students and change local tax revenue. The land is tax-exempt now.
