City Hall Rental Plan Collapses
Plans to move city hall to the old Simmons Company office building appear to have collapsed. The Harbor Development Corporation could not guarantee long term availability beyond four years, and Mayor Eugene R. Hammond warned the move would not be economically feasible without at least 11 years. American Motors offered a $27,600 annual sublease, but its lakefront lease has three years left with two four year options. The Kenosha Harbor Development Corporation owns the buildings, and officials cited lease uncertainties and the need to keep the building available for any future tenants. The project is described as in a deep coma and seemingly unsolvable.
