According to the ordinance, changes that are requested to take place to designated historic landmarks must be referred to the Chicago Heights Preservation Committee for consideration. |
In 10 years we'll regret it, just like we regret losing the other buildings in Chicago Heights -- the Victoria Hotel and the Lincoln-Dixie theater. We have demolished enough masterpieces. That is a wonderful, wonderful building. |
It's no more of a hazard than any derelict building, and Lord knows we've got enough (of them). |
The City Council really doesn't care about the Historic Preservation Committee or about historic preservation. |
The procedure is that the committee makes its recommendation to the City Council and, of course, the City Council has the final authority on this. |
