Rio Grande City accepts donation of historic downtown property at 307 E. Main
Summary
The commission approved acceptance of a dilapidated but historically registered downtown property at 307 East Main Street, saying the donor has offered the building to the city for rehabilitation and downtown revitalization.
The City Commission voted to accept the donation of a downtown property (E 2511, Block 4, address 307 East Main Street) after staff described the site as historically registered but currently dilapidated.
Planning staff said the donation would aid downtown revitalization and allow the city to rehabilitate a historically significant building as part of a larger block-improvement effort. "It's currently dilapidated, but it's highly historical," staff said while recommending acceptance. The commission approved the donation by motion and second and directed staff to proceed with next steps for preservation and eventual rehabilitation planning.
