WACO, Texas (KWTX) - The city of Waco will soon acquire old buildings and unused land, giving them a new purpose in the downtown revitalization project.

The city said for $32 million, it purchased about 11 acres of land at the former Indian Spring Middle school, and 11 acres at the Waco ISD track site across the street.

Indian Spring Middle School hasn’t been used since it temporarily housed Kendrick Elementary School students while their new campus was under construction.

Waco ISD superintendent, Dr. Tiffany Spicer said it’s the perfect opportunity to sell.

“We have an opportunity to go into the school year for future years, next year, and years to come without having a deficit budget. We also have the opportunity for some facility improvements,” said Spicer.
