This one’s been simmering for a while, and it makes abundant sense — meaning it will be opposed by the obstructionists if they can be torn away from their ongoing campaigns in opposition to flush toilets.
New Albany, Floyd officials may use Coyle site for offices, by Grace Schneider (Courier-Journal).
New Albany and Floyd County leaders have opened negotiations to buy the Coyle auto dealership property downtown for a city-county government complex.The city and county intend to order an appraisal and an environmental assessment of the 3.66 acres on Spring Street and will decide in the next three months whether to pursue the purchase, New Albany Deputy Mayor Carl Malysz said yesterday.
Here’s the part that caught my attention:
The Coyle property, between East Fourth and East Sixth streets, bounded by East Spring and East Elm, is zoned for commercial use. It also offers plenty of land to construct the 60,000-square-foot building the city and county would share and provide parking space, (Mayor Doug) England said.
Looks to me like the ideal opportunity to reuse the existing older main building in conjunction with a new design.
