Historic preservation took a big step forward in the Loring Park neighborhood today with the City Council's decision to approve the Harmon Place Automobile District! The vote was split into two parts with a 12 to 0 vote for the "Fawkes Block" and 10 to 2 for the rest of the district. The district extends from the Loring Bar & Cafe property north to 11th Street primarily including buildings that face Harmon Place. The designation will insure that future development conform to the historic nature of the district. I want to thank the City Council for sharing our vision of the potential of the area, to Kim Havey Chair of the CLPC Land Use Committee which held many meetings with the Community, the Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission and especially former member of that committee Bob Roscoe, and all the residents of the Loring Park Community who supported our efforts to make this a reality. CLPC will continue to work with property and business owners in the district through the Loring Business Assn. to address concerns that they may have and to help make the district an area where businesses will thrive and where residents and visitors will want to visit and enjoy for years to come. Thanks again to all the list members who supported us through calls to your Council Members - it worked! Richard Anderson Pres. Citizens for a Loring Park Community
