Plans for a new Greenwood Elementary School moved a step closer to reality after the Feb. 7 Kennett Township supervisors meeting. The supervisors approved the conditional land development plan to build a new 105,000-square-foot building on the same property as the current school at 420 Greenwood Road. The township’s planning commission voted to recommend approval for the supervisors. Diane Hicks, the township’s director of planning and zoning, said the existing school, built in 1962, would remain operational during the early stages of construction. The plan, according to Hicks, calls for “a one-story wing with a two-story classroom wing behind it” and enough room for “660 students and 80 staff members.” Currently, the school can handle 553 students.
