415 W. Washington RFP

415 W. Washington begins the RFP process this Thursday, March 13 at 3:00 PM on either the 2nd or 4th floor of city hall. The resulting responses should be very interesting as this particular site is dead center in what the city refers to as the “interface” zone (where downtown meets its surrounding neighborhoods). In this case, the site interfaces with several challenges: the Old West Side, a railroad track, floodway and floodplain, Allen Creek Greenway, possible environmental issues, and a desire for some of the structures to be reused as artist design and show space. I plan on attending this Thursday and hope to have an informative update shortly thereafter.
