Part 2/7:
Mayor KO shared updates on the sale of Eastern Nazarene College, revealing that a buyer has been selected. This buyer, a Kansas-based real estate developer and ENC alumni, has intentions to maintain some of the historical character of the campus while introducing housing developments. The Mayor has already engaged in preliminary discussions with the buyer, emphasizing the need for sensitive development due to the area's residential nature. One important aspect of this sale is the preservation of the Camp Kinder House preschool, which was also included in the purchase agreement. Mayor KO expressed relief over the preschool's continued operation, as its closure would have been a significant loss to the community, especially given the high demand for early childhood education.
