Dear Councilors[
I should like to remnant as a private citizen about the proposed
solutions to the future use of the Central Fire Station building.
Because of the current growth of interest in the physical rehabili-
tation of the downtown, and the designation of a large portion of it
as an historic district, bringing with it the possible use of federal
taxincentives, I feel that the demolition of the building is a
inappropriate solution. Reuse for a variety of retail and professional
uses is preferable, especially now that the Bangor Nouse project is
completed and fully occupied. At the request of developers, possible
bfstoric designation of the fire station was explored with the Maine
Historic Preservation Commission. Their opinion was that the building
in itself would not qualify as an historic landmark but that it would
be acceptable in an historic district. They also advised that the
upper Main Street area of Bangor including the fire station would
qualify as a local district, thus making a larger area of downtown
Bangor eligible for federal tax incentives. For these reasons,
, I
urge that adaptive reuse be given priority over demolitionin this
I have been told thst a letter from George Rattermann, Chairman of
the Core Area Development Corp., supporta the demolition of the
Central Fire Station. Asa member of the corporation, I wish to
disavow the arguments in gattermann4 letter. No discussion on the
Lqsue w s held by the corporation that I was
aware of, and I
resent the lecter0a being sent in the name ofmembers who may
strongly disagree.
Yours sincerely,
Deborah Thompson
