The Agenda

All of Downtown is in a protected National Historic District. Should buildings like the Fogarty be protected?
I am very much aware of the fact that all of Downtown is protected. One of the assets of Providence is that we have old buildings that have not been taken down, and we also have entire blocks of the city that are still intact, which is very, very important.
Having said that, we are at the point where the city is growing again, and building again, and there is this issue about which are the buildings that deserve protection and which do not necessarily deserve protection.
