SOUTH BOSTON—The archdiocese of Boston says it's committed to selling the old Gate of Heaven Elementary School to a developer: "The proposed deal has pitted the local neighborhood against church officials intent on selling the school that closed in 2008. Michael Moore, the owner of Oranmore Enterprises in Boston, has an agreement with the Archdiocese to purchase the property at 609 East Fourth Street for an undisclosed price. Under the plan, the developer would build 31 units in the 48,900-square-foot, four-story school, with 40 parking spots." [Biz Journal]
