According to the Jefferson County Assessor’s Office, the owners of record for 929 Windsor Harbor Drive property are trustees Jack and Adeline Cronin of Imperial. Jimmie and Pamela Miner of Imperial are the owners of record for 942 Windsor Drive, and Shirley Shindeler of Festus is listed as the owner 944 and 946 Windsor Drive.
Superintendent Joel Holland said the district is buying the property in anticipation of using it later.
“You don’t know what the district may need in the future,” Holland said. “We try to acquire properties bordering us.
“The 929 Windsor Harbor Drive property is next to our baseball field. The Windsor Drive acreage is across the street from the old Wonder Bread store off Hwy. 61-67.”
The Windsor Board of Education voted 7-0 Oct. 27 to approve the expenditure for the properties.
