The former New Harmony School was approved for sale this morning by the New Harmony Town Council to the “Highest and Best†bidder, New Harmony Resident Erik Arneberg, who bid $125,000 for the 56,000 sq.ft. building and 31 acres.
Although, Mr. Arneberg has not announced what his specific use for the property will be, he did say at last month’s Council meeting that he will do his utmost to save the school for re-use. Council President Alvin Blaylock said this morning that he had received a letter from Arneberg recently, stating that Mr. Arneberg would be following a planned usage very similar to that pursued by New Harmony’s Working Men’s Institute a couple of years ago.
