An information session on The Weed School will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 7.
The session will be with Hawthorne E. Welcher, Jr., the director of the Augusta Housing and Community Development. The purchase of the Weed School has been a much talked about topic recently, with Augusta commissioners voted to affirm the $1.3 million purchase of the Weed School at a special called meeting on Jan. 30 and later discussed the land bank structure in committee, The Augusta Press previously reported.

It was determined in a closed door session that the commission had discussed and agreed on negotiations to purchase the property, located at 2403 Mt. Auburn St., but had never specifically voted to allow the purchase.
The Augusta Department of Housing and Community Development (ADHCD) closed on the property in November of 2023 and then turned it over to the Augusta Land Bank Authority.
The session will be held at 6 p.m. at the Sand Hills Community Center. The Augusta Press will be streaming the meeting live on Facebook.
