FAIRMONT â The Claudio Corporation is renovating two buildings in downtown Fairmont that have been vacant for several years.
Tim Liebrecht, the companyâs chief operations officer and executive director of Main Street Fairmont, said it is the goal of both organizations to promote the growth of the Fairmont area, and renovating defunct buildings is one way of breathing new life into the city.
âWeâre taking buildings that are basically blight; buildings that have no visible value, no visible beauty, and turning them into functional spaces,â Liebrecht said. âThat produces income, that produces jobs, that salvages our history and makes that history usable and accessible for future generations.â
