FALL RIVER — The Fall River School Department may soon be getting a “new to you” school, after it paid off its more than $7.5 million lease on the former Atlantis Charter School at 2501 S. Main St.
“That will be coming up shortly,” said Mayor Paul Coogan, who is also the chairman of the School Committee.
In its meeting this week, the Fall River Redevelopment Authority was informed that, at the end of July, the School Department cut a check for the balance of the lease.
In May 2023, the RDA purchased the 77,000-square-foot property, a former school and nunnery, for $7.5 million with the express purpose of leasing it to the School Department.
