It was quiet on the Med Mart front for a while; last we heard there was arguing over the change in plans from MMPI regarding where it would be located. I liked the first site choice better all along. I don’t think you have to be a staunch preservationist to not want Public Hall torn down.
Many architecture lovers (includes most of us no?) lament the fact that so many Art Deco era buildings were torn down in Downtown Cleveland. Losing the history and beauty of Public Hall instead of restoring it never made any sense to me. I attended the Sustainable Cleveland 2019 conference in Public Hall a few months ago. If we were selling it (yeah I’m thinking like a Realtor® now), we’d say it’s in need of some TLC but oh what history and character.
Thanks to the Plain Dealer for staying on top of the issue. You can read the Medical Mart news here in an article written by Laura Johnston. The plan is now back to the original site location and has terms (contract) you can read in the PD. Peace Out – 3C
