Council member Lindsey proposes exploring grants to preserve Carver Building; Chair suggests event-use option
Summary
Lindsey said she and staff have identified grants to rehabilitate the historic Carver Building and recommended community input; the chair suggested using the structure as an event pavilion.
Lindsey said she has found grants that could support preservation and adaptive reuse of the historic Carver Building and that staff member Nadia is following up. "I have found several grants for that building, and I would like to discuss eventually ideas, maybe even get the community involved ... Nadia is looking into all of those grants, and we would like to preserve it and get it redone," Lindsey said.
The chair described the building as having "great bones" and suggested treating it as a pavilion or event space while preserving its historic character. Council members said the item should go to the community for input; no formal vote or funding allocation was recorded in the provided transcript.
