La Porte preservation commission asked to review Coca-Cola bottling building reuse; staff to lead response
Summary
The commission said it received materials on a proposed adaptive reuse of the former Coca-Cola bottling building on Rummley; staff and the commission's liaisons will review the submittal and bring recommendations to a future meeting.
Krista Hurley King told commissioners the preservation commission had been asked to comment on plans to repurpose the former Coca-Cola bottling building at 205 Rummley. The commission received materials on June 11 and members said six days was insufficient time to review the full submission before the June 17 meeting.
Hurley King said staff (Deb and David Heinold) will handle much of the review as they did previously and that the commission would be included in the review process. "Right now, it's just to take this under advisement," Hurley King said; the commission will receive additional materials and consider a formal proposal at a future meeting if one is submitted.
No formal recommendation or vote occurred on June 17. Commissioners described adaptive reuse of vacant commercial and industrial buildings as an important strategy for downtown revitalization and said they were pleased to be included in preliminary consultations with the project's proponents.
