Robert Warren (City Law Dept.)sent the following update:
The following is the weekly update of the Law Department on the status of 765 State St.
The City's relocation consultant, Mr. Mollica, is waiting for a return call from Mr. Thomas today to review the status of any potential and/or new replacement sites. As you will recall, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Mollica had agreed to talk today. Mr. Mollica did pass along 443 State Street, the former Kavanaugh Furniture Store to Mr. Thomas, at the beginning of the week. Mr. Thomas replied that he is aware of the site and had previously been inside the building. Mr. Thomas felt that the building was much too large for the Urban League's needs. Mr. Molica will be contacting the City's Planning and Economic Development office to see if they have any more suggestions.
I have been in contact with Steve Jablonski., he has submitted his proposal for architectural services to Pat Sullivan and the contract is in process. We have asked to have a Notice to Proceed, from City Purchasing, to begin work as soon as possible.
Please let me know, if you have any questions.
