Letter: Funding is key for downtown Comments re article 105630 Letter Tear them down By Victoria Pike I am wondering where the money to tear down the wings on the courthouse is going to come from. I haven't heard of any grants to help pay for it. The county is strapped for funds to do the necessary services. So how does one tear the wings off or make any major repairs to the old courthouse? Just asking if anyone has any real ideas here to remedy the problem. Some have poured money into our downtown, while others sit idly by and let their buildings literally crumble to the street. One of two things needs to happen here. The first is to try to find PRIVATE funding to restore the Downtown area if no grants are available. Second is if nothing can be done to improve the crumbling buildings then they need to be taken down so as not to make the rest of the renovated buildings look bad. Folks there are buildings in our downtown area that need a bulldozer taken to them if there isn't any other alternative. The old Lermans building is a prime example of this. Pieces of the building are literally falling to the street below. It would look ok so much better turned into a parking lot for the rest of downtown than the eyesore it is today. Money is tight everywhere these days and doesn't just appear without hard work and planning. I'd like to see a discussion on what can be done to start to remedy this situation and above all, how to pay for it. That's the bottom line, who is going to pay for it. All the good ideas in the world won't help unless there is funding to make it a reality. --Victoria This story was posted on 2019-08-15 10:06:44
