A complicated real estate deal between Lakewood, Jeffco Public Schools and The Action Center is back on track after a judge lifted a temporary injunction this week, allowing the City Council to take a vote.

Jefferson County District Judge Meegan Miloud lifted the injunction on Monday after a court hearing. That evening, the Lakewood council met in a special meeting and passed three ordinances that paved the way for The Action Center to move out of its facility on West 14th Avenue to operate out of Emory Elementary School.

The ordinances call for Lakewood to buy the long-shuttered Emory from Jeffco Schools for $4 million, along with the West 14th Avenue property for the same amount. The city would then turn around and sell part of the school property to The Action Center for $1 million.
