COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Downtown Development Authority Board will be asked on Wednesday morning to approve a nearly $5,400 quote for maintenance on the fire suppression system at the former Taylor’s Stationers building.
Economic Development Assistant Audrey Tappenden says in her memo to the D.D.A. Board that an inspection of the fire suppression system at 60 West Chicago Street was recently conducted and a report was made available detailing the line safety features that need maintenance and repair.
Tappenden says there is about $9,700 available for the D.D.A. in “Funding for Other Projects” after adjustments for Match on Main funds, COVID-19 related rebates, and the upcoming streetscape planning project.
City Building Technician Chad Rakocy is scheduled to be at Wednesday’s meeting to discuss the preliminary fire suppression system inspection.
The three-story building was bought by the D.D.A. in late 2019 in hopes of encouraging downtown development.
It has been empty since the spring of 2016 when Taylor’s Stationers owners Howard and Lola Taylor retired.
