    Miami Township, Ohio – Loveland Magazine has confirmed today that Grailville and the Drees Company have signed a purchase agreement for development of 110 acres on the south side of their property located on O’Bannonville Road east of downtown Loveland.

    In March of 2019 the Loveland Board of Education entered into a contract for an option to purchase the real estate, however, last January after voters said they were not willing to put up the money, the Board voted to cancel the contract. The Board had hoped to use the land for the construction of a new campus with three school buildings hoping the schools would open in September of 2022.
