Following a recommendation from National Register staff that the Southeast 600 block of Main Street no longer contributes to the Evansville Downtown Historic District, commissioners voted to remove the Ford Center/support center parcel from the district listing.

The commission approved staff's recommendation to remove the Southeast 600 block of Main Street (the Ford Center/Support Center) from the Evansville Downtown Historic District. Staff said the National Register advised that the block no longer contributes to district integrity and that removal is a straightforward delisting process handled via letter.

A commissioner moved to remove the Ford Center from the designation and another seconded; the chair called for the voice vote and reported the motion carried. Staff said they will begin the administrative process to send notice to the National Register and to effect the change.
