The bandstand demolition could start on Monday.

As some may have noticed, the bandstand is now roped off and signs are posted that it will be demolished. I am told by a council person that may begin on Monday. The next council meeting is on June 13th. It’s likely that the bandstand will be demolished by then. I am told by the individual that originally helped put Clarkdale on the Registry for Historical Places that the bandstand is included in that designation. It is a registered historical structure. Repairs that have been done to it do not disqualify it from that designation. No attempts have been made to find grants or other resources to help preserve it. This is a lack of due diligence on the part of our government. There was an engineering report in 2022, which I will try and obtain on Monday, that says the structure, as is, is not unsafe and can be preserved. Please contact the Town Council persons and the mayor and DEMAND the demolition of the bandstand stop immediately so that due diligence can be done. Anyone like to organize a protest on Monday?
