| | | Question of the Week | | | | Can't answer the question in your email? Click here to view as web page before commenting. | At the request of a citizen petition, Worcester City Council on May 9 asked the Hanover Insurance Group to delay demolition of the Notre Dame des Canadiens church as a preservation group seeks a willing developer to repurpose the building and a $6-million subsidy to make it financially viable. At what point should historic buildings in Worcester be demolished? A building should be torn down once it has outlived its viable use.
A 1- or 2-year demolition delay is enough to see if alternative uses can be found.
The city should delay demolition for 5-10 years to give preservation efforts enough time.
Historic buildings maintaining the character of the city should be preserved at all costs.
