A 59,000-square-foot-foot building at 5 Perimeter Rd. in Manchester – which once housed a contract manufacturing firm – has been sold for $1.4 million to the organizers of a public charter school.
The Founders Academy, which currently is based in Amherst, purchased the building, which sits on a five-acre ground leased parcel near Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.
