The Easton Area School District's old administration building now has a new owner.
The school board voted Tuesday night to sell the building on the 800 block of Northampton Street to the developer, who will pay $200,000 for the property and turn it into offices.
Board member Frank Pintabone said Atiyeh has put down $10,000 for the building. The sale still needs approval from a Northampton County judge.
The building -- which was the Cottingham School before it became administration offices -- has been vacant for several years.
Last year, a group of Easton residents asked the board to make sure it sold the building to a developer who would turn it into an asset for the community.
