Making the Grade

The Town of Shepherdstown is exploring the potential acquisition of the former Shepherdstown Elementary School property from the Jefferson County Board of Education.

While the Town has entered into a contract to purchase the property, the acquisition has not been finalized. The Town continues to evaluate the property, review financing options, and consider the steps necessary before making a final decision.

This page serves as a central resource for residents and other interested parties to follow the process. Below, you'll find links to Town announcements, news updates, and other relevant information concerning the potential purchase and future considerations for the property.

As the process moves forward, the Town will continue sharing updates to help keep the community informed. No decisions have been made regarding the property's future use, and opportunities for public input will be part of that conversation when planning begins.
