Brief:
This former High School in Central Kansas is just 20 minutes away from Hays, and located 2 miles from Interstate 70. The Hays regional Airport provides air service to Denver and Kansas City which makes Gorham, KS very accessible to any part of the country. The 22,700 sq ft building is located on 2 acres and has been well maintained. A new air conditioner has been installed, and the roof is in excellent condition. The ceilings do not show water damage which also indicates the condition of the roof over the years. Most of the rooms have large windows that provide ample light. Many of the rooms are nice sized with storage closets in each room. A large gymnasium (75’ x 60’) has a domed roof and large windows on two sides of the Gym. As all older Gym’s it has a small strip of benches on each side, a small stage on one end and an excellent hardwood floor. The main hallways are large to allow the movement of large objects from room the room. The kitchen in the school still has the large stoves, ovens and sinks in tact. The original building was built in 1947 with an addition added several years later. On the back side of the building there has been a metal addition attached to the building this area is accessible by two overhead doors (10’x 11’6”). Except for the metal addition, the entire building is constructed of cement block with a blond brick exterior. This property covers a city block and the buyer will have plenty of room to expand if they desire. The current owner intended to open a Computer Refurbishment Center, since the center never opened there are some computers and other office equipment that goes with the building. This property has unlimited possibilities for small manufacturing, call center, warehouse, computer training center, or a distribution center with easy access to I-70. Gorham is a small community that can provide all of the basic needs for the family as well as a corporation wanting to expand. Educational systems are excellent in this part of the state. Work ethic is very high throughout the region and a ample work force is available. Economic Development funds are available from both Russell County and the State of Kansas for equipment and labor force incentives. You owe it to yourself to see this property as the owners are motivated to sell.
