The village of Aurora is moving forward in its collaboration with Wells College, aiming to preserve the college’s history and expand local assets.
Mayor Jim Orman announced progress on acquiring the college’s stagecoach and omnibus through a memorandum of understanding. This gift, part of the college’s asset disposition plan amid its closure, will keep the 156-year-old institution’s legacy alive.
Additionally, the Aurora board advanced an offer to purchase Wells College’s lakefront property, including its boathouse and adjacent land, for a proposed waterfront park. Both moves hinge on state approval.
