The former Davol School building at 112 Flint St. has been sold to the tune of $150,000, or a little less than half what the building is worth.

At the Jan. 27 City Council meeting, councilors voted unanimously to act on a purchase and sales agreement and hand over the blighted property, long a thorn in city's side that snagged council deliberations from time to time. City Councilor Linda Pereira was not present at the meeting.

Previously, the development of the former school was under review by the City Council's Committee on Real Estate, tasked with evaluating Contractors Landing LLC's plans for the blighted property.
