Built or Blight:Revitalizing & Developing Merrill's Buildings & Housing

City and community development representatives will explain how they evaluate the physical condition of commercial and residential buildings and why some meet the wrecking ball. Private citizens and developers will explain how they are saving Merrill's important buildings, and will have the opportunity for frank discussions with officials. The Building Merrill Together initiative, co-supported by T.B. Scott Free Library, the Interactivity Foundation (IF), and the Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy & Service (WIPPS), aims to stir government, business, and the general public to positively change Merrill through information and discussion, and by creating an open and transparent environment for change.
