This week e-mails have been flying back and forth about the fate of the Shakespeare Theater administration building on Elm Street, a/k/a the 'White House'.
Councilman Matt Catalano (R-3) explains in a e-mail from earlier today:
The white house lost part of its roof and the fire marshall deemed the house unsafe. PW [the town's Department of Public Works] is to suspend all service to the building and cut utilities. The Mayor wants to tear the building down and that discussion is starting in earnest.
It's been mentioned a tear down/rebuild is an easier sell (to the mayor) but ultimately the [Town] Council has control. We have $1.3 million bonded that needs to go to salvage the building or build a new one, if we could trust that to happen. I'm leery. Either way we need to maintain that property for a "center for the arts" Shakespeare museum, admin office space.
There you have it. Your comments on what role OSNA ought to play in this would be most welcome.
