CONWAY — Last Friday, the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council sold its share of the MWV Technology Village campus for $640,000 to the Northeast Woodland Chartered Public School, which gives the K-8 school, which has used part of the Tech Village campus for the past six years, the run of the place.
“It’s wonderful news for the school. From where we started in 2020 to now it’s an unbelievable feeling,” said Jesse Badger, chair of Northeast Woodland's board of trustees.
