Council approves letter to Crawford County Land Bank supporting demolition of old YMCA building
Summary
Council voted to send a council-signed letter to the Crawford County Land Bank stating the city believes the old YMCA at 233 E. Mansfield St. is structurally degraded and does not have salvageable historic value, and committing to pass a resolution if required to support demolition.
Council discussed and approved sending a letter to the Crawford County Land Bank expressing support for demolition of the old YMCA at 233 East Mansfield Street, citing interior degradation and public-safety concerns. The draft letter states the building "looks to be in good shape" from outside but that the interior "has degraded to the point where the building is no longer salvageable" and that "there is no reasonable belief nor historical value that would outweigh the dangers to public safety."
Council approved a motion to send the letter and instructed the clerk to transmit it; members also said they are willing to pass a resolution reflecting the same position if required by the land bank or state requirements. The clerk read the letter's address as "Crawford County Land Bank, Bucerios, Ohio 44820" in the transcript; the city intends the recipient to be the Crawford County Land Bank in Bucyrus, Ohio.
