The millage failed, leaving the fate of the old Plymouth high school up for debate. The Melcom‘s had originally donated the property to the community foundation, a nonprofit group which would have donated the property to the city and the township after the passing of the millage. For the millage to pass it had to pass in the Township and the city; the millage did pass in the city but not in the Township. Eventually, in January 2019 the community foundation donated the property to PARC, which is now the owner of the old Plymouth high school, and works to raise money to repair and renovate the old historical building.
