I am requesting a Neighborhood Revitalization Area be established for the Cider Building at 810/812 Pennsylvania.  I am planning to convert the Cider Building into an arts gallery on the lower level which can host events.  The upper level will be converted into offices for entrepreneurs.  This complements the overall plan and continues to enhance the creative nature of East Lawrence.  The Cider Building will have to request the full amount of abatement for the entire term.

Finally, this project is unique in the fact that we are able to save one of the most historic structures in Lawrence.  On the Poehler Building, we estimated over 140 people will have received a paycheck by the time it is completed.  This NRA request is a jobs generator and we estimate another 100 jobs will be created/sustained by these efforts, not to mention the catalytic effects these projects will continue to have on the surrounding area.

Please let me know if you need additional information. 

Thanks you,

Tony Krsnich
