Thanks for the background, but I still dont get it.
It took 6 years to get started ??
The things you mention about reconstruction are just a normal part
of any building rehab. Its done all over the place, not a big deal.
You ask what kind of buidings would be good.
All of your choices have some merit, some more; some less.

That should not even be in the running.
Reminds me of all the classic strip malls I see getting the fake
victorian make overs. Not to mention the new strip malls. Everything
looks the same and fake.
I read a lot about striving for great architechture in that local
paper - the TriCities. Didn't anyone care about it?
