PLANS FOR REDEVELOPMENT AND REUSE
Excerpt from 2014 Condition Study
Prepared by Clinton Brown Company Architecture
617 Main St. Buffalo, N.Y. 14203
The concept to re-use this building as an Arts Center has good prospects for several reasons:
- The proposed use, an assembly place for education and culture, is a good fit with the historic use, requiring limited modification to the existing historic building.
- The building will serve the community once again and the use complements the surrounding areas
- An Arts Center can showcase local and regional artistic talent of all ages.
- Placing an Arts Center here will help portray Bath as a place of the arts in its role as an important southern gateway to the Finger Lakes region.
- Arts and cultural facilities, especially those in historic buildings, have a track record of success in attracting desirable visitors from out of town as well as serving local residents.
