[Winona Online Democracy] There seems to be just a little sensitivity about the old middle school building. I am looking at it as simply an opportunity to have the community make a decision if they want to use it for the arts or not. For that matter, to decide if it can be used for any purpose. We are not going into this venture naively. We are talking to all of the players involved, especially MetroPlains. We have joined the League of Historic American Theaters, whose specialty is renovation of old theatre spaces. This is not an emotional approach to an old building, it is a business approach to finding additional venues for the arts in Winona and the surrounding area. However, I do enjoy reading all of the comments about the effort. I want to thank you all for your interest in the building and the effort. I hope that means that we can all work together to turn this into a very positive effort for Winona.
