Letter: Saving the Gasholder
I was struck by William Politt’s recent, well-written and scathing submission (
Monitor, Dec. 21) in which he, in his defense for the preservation of the Concord Gasholder, chastised Liberty Utilities, the building’s owner, for its insistence on ‘tearing it down.’
Indeed, Liberty does have a plan to secure a demolition permit by the end of the year, but, they have been quite proactive in helping to work out a solution beforehand. A committee has been appointed by Mayor Jim Bouley to, according to the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance, ‘Identify preservation and redevelopment options that are compatible with the community’s vision for this area of the City and be a win-win for preservation and economic opportunities.’
