City Council Delays Downtown Parking Lot Decision
Contested plan to replace the Conrad house with a downtown parking lot faces a 90 day postponement after urging from the Merchants Association and discussions with the Historical Society and Chamber of Commerce. The council also set a reserve for park development funds from highway right of way and eyed a $100,000 auditorium gymnasium project funded partly by Hill-Burton grants.
