Acting on its “last best chance” to use state grant money to develop part of the old Cooper school site into something positive, the Livonia school board directed Supt. Randy Liepa on Monday to continue negotiations with a company that wants to lease the property for a $2.8 million soccer complex.
Under the terms of a cooperative agreement, Oakland County-based Breeze Management would lease about half of the 40-acre site for 30 years, paying the school district about $2 million over that time period. The complex would include four outdoor soccer fields, a couple of training fields and a dome for indoor soccer.
