The Blanchester School Board at their meeting Monday night approved a 50-year lease allowing the Blanchester Pool and Recreation Center to use 10 acres to build their facility near Blanchester High School.

Superintendent Dean Lynch said the lease will be for “no more than 10 acres” of a 40-acre lot near the high school.
