Press release from Town of Hamden:

Hamden – Town officials would like to make residents aware of the following information.

Area Cooperative Educational Services (ACES), the Hamden Board of Education (BOE), and the Mayor have come to a tentative agreement regarding the sale of the Wintergreen School Building.

Parties have tentatively agreed to the sale of the Wintergreen School Building in the proposed amount of $16 million. The proposed closing date is June 1st, 2022.

Mayor Lauren Garrett comments, “This infusion of cash to the Town will help fund needed projects that have long been ignored, and will enable us to fund these projects without borrowing. I want to thank the Hamden Public School Administration for their efforts in brokering this deal.”

Superintendent Jody Goeler comments, “I am pleased the Mayor and her team were able to finalize an agreement with ACES on the sale of Wintergreen School. This will allow our District to allocate resources to keep both Church Street and Shepherd Glen Schools open to our students and staff and perform the necessary school capital improvements.

"Successfully completing this agreement with ACES affords the opportunity for our administration to work with their team to successfully transition programs currently housed at Wintergreen School back to our neighborhood schools at the end of the 2022-2023 school year.”
