Roof Update:
City Manager Pam Polk reported (via email) that the city had inspected
the sagging roof report and had planned to shore up the roof next week
... before today's collapse. -- Ted 6:25pm Sat. 7/7/2012 -- The city had recently taken over the building from the veterans and were planning to rennovate the neglected building which was built in 1946. -- Sample previous coverage. |
This year's August
2012 Tri-County Fair was already planning to operate without the Veterans
(American Legion and former VFW) building for the first time due to
it's already poor (pre-crash) condition. In the past few years increasing age & declining membership had left the American Legion unable to keep up with building maintenance. That despite several priviate citizen fund raiser efforts, before the city agreed to take over and start planning for restoration of the building for continued public use in honor of our veterans. -- Ted Wright 7/9/2012 |
