Board of Education Chairman Dan Murphy said Thursday that school officials have found a couple of sites for the school, but he worries the property owners won’t sell – and that the issue might have to be resolved in court.
“There is good land out there. There’s a couple sites I really like and would really serve the interests of this community,” Murphy said during a rare joint meeting of the school board and County Commission. “If we can’t achieve a meeting of the minds with the owner, we cannot rule out the possibility of condemnation.”

We've got our own <a href="http://meanderthal.typepad.com/dope/2004/12/gobstoppers.html" target="_blank">ED problems in Brooklyn</a> regarding some development associated with a proposed basketball arena.
