Rendering of proposed development

Status

• Your pressure worked! On January 28, the City's Preservation Board recommended local landmark status for The North Park Library. It's now in the Common Council's hands. We'll let you know when a hearing is scheduled.
• Update, May 11,2016: The Common Council DENIED local landmark status for this building.

Action Talking Points

• The site contains some of the only green space on Hertel Avenue - a reprieve from cars and traffic.
• The site is the only corner at Hertel and Delaware without strip malls and parking lots.
• It's a beautiful 1925 structure with a lot of reuse potential.
