As it turned out the property was unbuildable.  The sewer line would be under the parking lot right next to the building and pretty deep.  I think it was going to be 50 feet underground and servicing it in the future would be impossible.  It was about as bright of an idea as building the new High School on the oppisite corner.  The busiest intersction in the county seems like a great place to add school traffic to.  IMO, it had as much to with Woody getting elected and disrupting the good ole boy network of a few folks making bank off the citizens. The plan was to buy contaminated property, have it cleaned at taxpayer expense, and then build a school on top of it.  Funny thing is the HS is going on property already owned by the city at the sports plex, where it should be.  The whole deal stunk to high heaven.  Somebody had a great plan to dump some contaminated land off on the taxpayers because tying to sell it on the open market would be problematic, being contaminated and all.  Thats the way I see it.
