(neighborhood residents)
Simon Herbert has been working on the Adkins property
project for the County. He distributed a handout that shows that the property
represents a substantial part of the Fort area. He intends in the future to do
a tour of the property and may try to plan this for February’s La Reunion
event. Three officers’ quarters for the
Fort are on the property, only parts of which are standing. One building is
restorable. The buildings will be protected by a fence and light poles will be
installed by TEP to help provide security during the restoration period. Scope
of the work will include an archaeological investigation and the preservation
of the buildings. A master plan will be developed that will help determine how
this parcel fits into the whole of the historic district and how it will be
interpreted. Simon also displayed photographs he took of the buildings on the
site.
A committee will be established to work with the
intergovernmental group. Included in the scope of the committee’s work will be
a plan to maintain the buildings properly. Public meetings will be held as part
of the master planning.
