if they try to fix this building it will be with taxpayers money because of it being a historical landmark. to me its just an eyesore and a waste of space that could be used for something useful and provide jobs for the community thats allready at its highest unemployment rate. if you ask me i say tear this safety hazard down. that building houses nothing and never will even if they fix it.

How is it safe for anyone to be able to continue to work in that building when part of it is wide open and falling apart? Where are the building inspectors? Surely this is against some of the safety regulations and building codes.
