Remember that there were estimates of $10s of millions needed to
restore ConHall when the discussions of sale were being held.
To date Asbury Partners claims tro have spent $1M on improvements.
Those improvements were not restoration, they were to make the
facility more usable such as plumbing, electric, and facilities.
What I have seen is complete disregard for proper restoration and
preservation practices.
- Spackle used on textured plaster walls.
- Sanding copper and bronze architectural elements.
- Industrial/commercial light fixtures installed.
- Reconfiguration of interior spaces.
- Inappropriate painting
The lack of investment to address serious issues such as structural
defects, failing terra-cotta, light fixtures, the arcade storefronts
etc, indicates they are just in a holding pattern.
Use the venue - spend as little as possible.
Sounds just like what the City was doing, what have we gained?
