Powder House Community School Sold?

I heard a rumor that the old Powder House Community School has finally been sold. Has anyone heard this? I know the city received six bids and wonder which one they went with.

Six developers submitted proposals to the City's RFP. The Powderhouse School Technical Advisory Committee has interviewed the developers and reviewed the proposals and is working on their recommendation to the Mayor, which I believe will become a public document once it's released. The mayor will then enter negotiations with the developer of his choice. Once he has come to agreement on a contract with the developer, the board of aldermen will have a chance to vote on the contract. I can't remember the current timeline, other than that we're behind that proposed in the RFP.

The city's project website is http://www.somervillema.gov/departments/ospcd/planning-and-zoning/teele-square/phcs (http://www.somervillema.gov/departments/ospcd/planning-and-zoning/teele-square/phcs)

So, in other words: whoever gives Joe the most money gets the school. Got it.
