Options for consideration include: <br />1. Repair building - 720 Main Street <br />o Attached cost estimates do not include any repairs of 716 Main Street <br />2. Demolish 716 Main Street <br />a. Additional inspections would be required prior to demolition <br />3. Demolish 716 & 720 Main Street and explore options for additional parking <br />a. Additional inspections would be required prior to demolition <br />It is imperative to move forward before there is a heavy snowfall to avoid the risk of roof <br />collapse. An uncontrolled roof collapse could put people at risk and could also damage <br />adjacent buildings.
