Another New School – 63rd St. and 14th Ave.
NY Yimby announced that the permits were filed for PS 82, a new school on 14th Avenue and 63rd Street. (Info) HOW STRANGE!
NYC paid almost 10 million to the Catholic Church for the property in 2019.
That amount is a bargain compared to the School Construction Authority’s purchase of Nathans the year prior for $25 million dollars! (The property was purchased on 12/4/18 for $12.25 million and then the developer sold to the School Construction Authority for $25 million seven months later – July 1, 2019.) (Info)
What’s strange here is the location! PS 676 is being built 13th Avenue and 63rd Street (see below). PS 676 will open in September 2024 with seats for 500+ students. (Info)

Why would PS 82 be built one block away from another new school? #SomethingIsNotRightHere
Yes, some new schools were needed, but oversaturating the area with schools is not necessary.
New schools in Brooklyn are money-makers for some. (Info)
