Flint's Oak School will change into senior apartments

For years the residents of the Grand Traverse neighborhood have yearned for something to happen at the vacant Oak School.
Vacant since 1998, when it was last used by Community Mental Health, the facility was shuttered as kindergarten through sixth grade school in 1976 because of declining enrollment.
Now the school is being rehabilitated into 24-apartments for low-income seniors using $5 million in state, federal and local grants.
The project is led by Flint-based nonprofit Communities First, Inc.
Watch this video to learn how they plan to transform the former school.
