“This is an opportunity for our community to come together and show what we’re capable of as a community so this building can be a rallying point for the community instead of a point of divisiveness. So we’re really excited to turn that corner and help this building be all it can be for the downtown,” Ben Sutherly, with the Troy Historic Preservation Alliance President said.
If the group finishes the stabilization work by the end of April the street in the area could reopen.
