Reply to comment by Super_C_Complex in The nearly 300 year old Hoke house in Spring Grove is once again slated for demolition by CommodorePerson

>Honestly there's been years of debating this and fighting this. But Rutters bought it. They want to put a store in there. And they said if someone wants to pay to move it they're free to do so, but no one ponied up

In Freeport, ME, the town made McDonald's build their restaurant so that the historical building at that location was incorporated into the designs. Rutters should be able to do the same. I hear there is a similar issue with a 100's year old building in Lebanon County. Restaurant chain wants to tear it down and put up a parking lot.

That's a great idea.

Now if only people voted for government officials who care instead of government officials who care about profits
