Save the Kimball Block from Demolition
Result:
I delayed closing this petition because it seemed an admission of defeat. Given that the school and surrounding historic structures are being torn down now, it is time to lay this to rest. Be assured I spoke out for preservation at every meeting open to the public. A copy of this petition was also presented to the Charter Commission, the elected body charged with rewriting the rules governing the Concord School District. I testified before the Commission that citizens of this district should have the right to petition for changes, a right they do not now hold. Thank you to all who signed this petition, all 138 of you. It was a concrete way to voice our opposition to the demolition of a part of Concord's history. I encourage you to stay involved in your community and voice your opinions frequently.
We, the citizens of Concord supporting the preservation of this block, petition the Concord School Board to reverse its decision to destroy Kimball School, Morrill School, and seven homes.
The demolition would be a historic loss to the city as well as a monetary one, with the properties permanently removed from the tax rolls.
We want the School Board to seek an alternative site for the new elementary school in another area of West Concord.
