A Happy New Year for the Fisher Mansion

The Fisher Mansion will continue to shine in 2010 as the City moves forward with the restoration and preservation of this historic property. The structural evaluation report by the SEAU will be finished today and then the final draft of the Historic Structure Report (HSR) will be distributed later this week to the Partners Team for final review. Next week the Partners Team and the conultants will meet to discuss the findings of the HSR and next steps for the mansion and carriage house.

This year decisions will be made on how to allocate the funding secured from the Save America’s Treasures program. There is also the potential for additional funding through the Capital Facilities Grant that the city applied for last year, which would be utilized for the structural upgrade and roof replacement of the carriage house.

Planning for the annual Celebrate the City event will be kicking into high gear soon to prepare for the two-day event to be held at the Fisher Mansion in May. Look for more details soon.
