A New High School on Ovington Ave – Bay Ridge
Picture from Video – seen here
UPDATE May 2023: This school was voted down by Community Board 10. There were many unanswered questions.
If you haven’t heard about the new high school, it’s because in early December, Councilman Brannan announced the location as a new elementary school in a Tiktok video. (Seen here)
The St. Nicholas Home located at 425 Ovington Avenue will be the location for a new high school, which will alleviate some of the overcrowding at Fort Hamilton High School. (News) The garages to the right of the building are also included in this property.
Community Board 10 mentioned the new school on one of their flyers this Winter, but then it disappeared. Someone on CB 10 must have said it had to be a high school because the area is being oversaturated with elementary schools.
It was said at a meeting that the school may be named The Joanne Seminara School.
Last January, we saw that someone has been benefitting from the property being sold NYC – read this story about The Nathan’s location. The man who owned Nathan’s property also owned 8808 – 5th Avenue.
So who got free lunch this time? Everyone reading this blog has to be wondering that!
The price paid for the building hasn’t been recorded in Acris yet – check back here next month.
