Preservation pays beyond the bottom line

Posted by kirk in Ogdennewsissues

Sometimes historic preservation might seem like a big puzzle.  Maybe that's why I like it.  But that might also be why you might be wondering how all the pieces fit together?  Ogden's current debate about how to resolve rehabilitation issues with the Windsor Hotel served as an excellent opportunity to talk about how we work and our work in Ogden, printed in the Standard Examiner on Sunday, November 16.

Unfortunately, in the week before this editorial was published, the developers applied for a demolition permit to "keep all their options open."  This application will come before the Ogden Landmarks Commission in early December for discussion and a vote.

Instead of demolishing the building would they consider selling to someone like me who would take the time and money to repair the building and with every intention of restoring it to its fullest potential?How may I contact the owner of that poor hotel.All it needs is a little love and some money well spent.smilies/smiley.gif
