Good Turnout for Downtown Options Meeting in Lanark
The face of downtown business districts across the region have changed dramatically in the past 40 years - and not necessarily for the better. How can the community of Lanark, IL preserve some of the rapidly deteriorating and abandoned buildings in their historic downtown? 50 people attended the meeting held Tuesday, May 8, 2012 at the Heritage Center. Absentee building owners and downtown revitalization concepts were presented by Terry Feinberg of U of I Extension. Those in attendance represented the Lanark City Council, Lanark Chamber of Commerce, Lanark Community Club, Lanark Library Board, Friends of the Lanark Library, Village of Shannon, prospective business developers, and interested community members. Feinberg stressed that the keys to successfully addressing downtown deterioration issues include proper planning; adopting and/or enforcing ordinances that will help prevent deterioration; and following the letter of the law.
