Jun 1, 2026

Staff said three landmark nominations are before city council for ordinance drafting, two others were recommended to council by the planning commission, an RFP for a firehouse MPDF returned two strong applicants and consultant selection is pending, and the Redevelopment Authority reported nearly $1 million in housing rehabilitation activity and land bank acquisitions.

The full story

Staff updated the commission that five landmark nominations are moving through the city process. Three nominations — Menor Core, the Labor Temple and the South Erie Iron Works Company Building — are currently before city council, which has closed public hearings and asked City Legal to draft ordinances to change zoning so the properties could be declared city historic landmarks. Staff said they expect those processes to conclude within the next month when time permits on council’s agenda.
