The council recently decided to maintain the building while redevelopment proposals for the city property are sought. That decision came after the council rejected a request to consider declaring the building a historic structure.

Norton felt the building may present a challenge to some developers who may decide against submitting a proposal. She also noted the city intended to demolish the building when it bought the property and continued maintenance costs are a waste of money.
