If you have been on vacation or hiding under a rock for the past couple of weeks, then you've missed a lot. Peoria's Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously to hold a public hearing on whether or not to make the current AMVETS building historic. This public hearing is scheduled for Nov. 12 at 8:30 A.M. in room 400 of City Hall. The commission will hear anyone that wishes to speak at the hearing for up to five minutes. The Journal Star article on the matter can be viewed here: http://www.pjstar.com/news/x76323024/AMVETS-building-may-get-landmark-status
My understanding of this process is that the commission will conduct the public hearing and either recommend to the city council that the building receive historic designation or not. The city council will then vote on the matter. The date for this vote is not yet known for sure.
This obviously has repercussions for the sale and purchase we have planned. The church has made it known that they will not buy our building if it receives a historic designation.
