(KNZA)--A former Holton school building will serve as the new, permanent home for a local theater group.
During a special meeting Thursday evening, the Holton USD 336 Board of Education approved the sale of the old Central Elementary School in the 400 block of New Jersey Avenue to the Holton Community Theater for $1.
The building was vacated four years ago after completion of the new Holton Elementary School.
The district had placed the property for sale on the real estate market, but it had not sold. The original portion of the school dates to the 1950s.
Members of the theater group initially approached the board in June about taking over the building.
Since 2014, the group has had 18 productions plus four summer youth camps.
