>to rehab the courthouse regardless of the temporary measures it takes over
>the next 2 or 3 years. The County discussions seem to be what can the
>county do to make sure that it has the temporary space it needs and still go
>on with rehab planning. It is easier for the county to negotiate from a
>position of being able to solve its problems than being under the gun of not
>knowing whether it has to move the entire court system to another location
>in 2 months. The School Board wants to keep all its options open. It wants
>to continue to lease to the county if the developer can't act. The
>developer wants to be able to move if it gets financing, but does not want
>to commit until it has all the financing in place. These are 3 divergent
>views. Some of them have to make a decision. It seems to me that the

>> My Comment: Whatever is the most cost effective long term solution.

>> 3. Are you concerned with what happens to the old middle school (how it

>> 4. Do you think Winona has an affordable housing problem that needs to be

>> My Comment: I don't know, but with houses coming on the market in the $40-
