(WCPerspective – BR – 04/27/10) With volunteers working on several short-term restoration projects at the Central Terminal, a strategic plan is being drafted that will prioritize stabilization projects and look at how best to prepare the property for long-term use. Time is of the essence. By some estimates, if major roof and masonry repairs are not completed in the next few years, the building could be in serious trouble.
“We are focused on two things right now,” says Paul Lang, board member and chair of the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation’s Architectural Advisory Committee. “We’re really ramping up to the National Trust convention in fall 2011 and expect to complete the strategic plan at about the same time. It’s kind of a make or break 18 months for us and the building.”
