Downers Grove Elementary District 58 is mulling whether to lower the asking price for a former school after receiving only one bid for the property.
The district sought a minimum bid of $3.8 million for the 93-year-old Longfellow Center, which sits on more than 3 wooded acres at 1435 Prairie Ave. But the sole submitted offer during the 60-day bidding period came in below what the district wanted.
