147 w first st

147 W. First Street was the latest addition to the demolition list and due for Council vote tomorrow night. The Historical Society notified the city over the weekend that it was requesting consulting party status in the Section 106 Review of this demolition and requested that it be taken off the table for Council vote. The latest resport from Council is that it will now be taken off the table. Under threat by the Ohio Department of Development of loss of NSP funds, the city appears to be ready to execute a new Programmatic Agreement with consulting party status to the Historical Society and now Downtown Masnfield which has requested similar recognition. The subject will come up at tonight's Council Caucus.
Today marks exactly 5 months since the Historical Society's initial request to the city on June 2.
