Board weighs two financial-assistance requests; staff asked to craft evaluation process
Staff presented two one-off requests for financial assistance—an estimated $200,000-equivalent tax-exemption request for the Memorial Building and a $550,000 restoration request for 525 Mill Street. Board members asked staff to develop a consistent evaluation process and to return with more documentation from applicants.

Allie Camp presented two letters requesting financial assistance.

The second letter, for 525 Mill Street, asked for $550,000 to restore original windows and an elevator damaged by vandalism; Camp noted the site is on the National Register of Historic Places.
