City officials eye razing the southern block to place a new city hall, central station, and large auditorium, potentially boosting nearby commercial development and prompting Y M C A and Y W C A expansions. The Enterprise also eyes a modern newspaper plant on the mid block if approved.

New South Main street development eyed for civic center

Cecil’s Drug Store D Pender and A P Tea Co already occupy the block with a Marine Oil service station across from the post office. A Southern Public Utilities garage project on Wrenn Street with brick fire proof construction and machine shops advances at an estimated cost of 10 000.
