I’m in agreement that the city should use about a third of the bond money proceeds to renovate the Armory. I agree with Jeremy Karlin’s assessment that the utility tax bond proceeds should be used for worthy capital projects as well as for street and sidewalk repairs, and work should begin soon. As Duane Oldfield, Knox professor said, “The city should turn it into a valuable space rather than let it decay”; there are awesome opportunities for spacious community events to be held there. I agree with Peter Schwartzman that “savings in utility costs could be achieved by installing solar panels on the roof of the Armory building”, and that community outreach meals could be served in the community kitchen/dining room that would be a part of the grand new “Galesburg Community Center” building.

Should utility tax money be used to upgrade Armory?
