Dear Conunissioners:
I read with interest the article in the Greeley Tribune regarding the purchase of Weld County Garage by the
county for parking expansion. I understand parking is always a concern. However,the part of the article
that disturbed me the most was the mention of tearing down the building.
The first question that comes to mind is"WHY." The Weld County Garage building would make excellent
covered parking. Except for a few offices in the lion of the building along 10°Street,the entire building
is nothing but automotive repair bays and interior parking for cars. Why not maintain the integrity of the
building and still have the county's parking concerns met by keeping the building intact? It would cost
taxpayers less tearing down interior walls than tearing down an entire building. And the concerns
regarding placement of the historic sign will have been met by keeping that part of the building intact The
facades on every other aide of the building could be changed to reflect that it is a county structure. Just the
northeast corner would remain the same.
The demolition of buildings in downtown Greeley has got to stop. Otherwise the entire downtown area
will be nothing but asphalt paved parking lots. There will be no place to shop or eat. Why not set the
example and stop the destruction of our historic buildings downtown by starting with the Weld County
Garage building?
I hope that all of you will seriously consider this proposal I truly believe that i am not the only voice out
there to save the building as it stands. Regardless of what you do to the interior of the structure,saving the
historical elements would prove beneficial for everyone,the County,the Historic Preservation
Commission,and the community as a whole.
If you have any questions or If I can be of any assistance whatsoever,please do not hesitate to contact me.
I can best be reached at work at 351-7300,ext.4529. Thank you for your consideration of this letter.
I remain committed to the premise that by working together compromises can be reached that will satisfy
all parties concerned.
Yours truly,
