the city manager today announced his aggressive plan to curb the recent destruction of historical buildings by out-of-state developers. two major developers, hanson properties and city logic, have held rights to the city's old industrial district for years. recently though, they have made public their other acquisitions in the west side tobacco row area. since this area is not officially a "historical district" and is not yet recognized by the federal preservation committee, the developers have been given the option to tear the 150-year-old structures down. the city manager's plan is to deny all demolition in the city by refusing to grant city demolition permits.
