During a recent government meeting, city officials discussed the future of the historic interim building located on the Feckley lot, which is currently threatened by a nearby hotel construction project. The building, originally moved to its current location in 1991, has been deemed at risk due to necessary utility work that could compromise its structural integrity.

Andrew, a city representative, outlined two primary proposals for the building's relocation. The first, presented by Jason Stephenson of Legacy Hotel, suggests temporarily moving the structure for safekeeping during construction and then returning it to its original site. The second proposal, from the Medina County Historical Society, offers to relocate the building to their property near the McDowell Phillips house, either temporarily or permanently.

Council members expressed a strong preference for preserving the building, with many favoring the historical society's proposal, citing their proven track record in maintaining historical structures. Concerns were raised about the potential damage that could occur during the moving process, with suggestions to keep the building on a trailer to minimize risk.

The discussion highlighted the building's historical significance, with council members noting its role in the community and the need for visibility. The Legacy Hotel representatives emphasized their commitment to honoring the building's legacy, proposing to use it for valet service and ticket distribution if it remains on-site.

As the hotel project progresses, city officials are seeking a timely decision on the building's fate to avoid delays. The meeting concluded with a consensus on the importance of protecting the structure, with further evaluations on the costs and logistics of moving it to be conducted. The council is expected to make a decision soon, balancing the interests of the hotel development with the preservation of the city's historical assets.
