On October 5, 2010, the School Board authorized the acquisition of scores of contiguous, quarter-acre, residentially-zoned lots off Haberland Boulevard in North Port for a future elementary school.  Most of the parcels were unimproved, and there were four occupied homes to be acquired.  The home at 3464 Hobart Street was acquired through the eminent domain process, and the prior owner has vacated the dwelling.  The district will now lease the home until the site needs to be cleared for school construction, or until repairs to the home make an earlier demolition the cost effective alternative.  The other three homes have already been leased under similar terms.
