Norcross offers to support DDA window restoration at 94 Wingo Street

Councilmember Bair introduced a resolution offering city support to the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) for restoration of historic windows at 94 Wingo Street as part of phase 2 of the Lillian Webb Park plan. Counsel clarified the resolution expresses the city's intent to offer an IGA amendment rather than immediately modifying the agreement.

During discussion, counsel and council members discussed cost and authority limits. Counsel said his review indicated a maximum cost per restored window around $2,000 and that the total for eight windows would be in the neighborhood of $30,000; he proposed the city limit support to the delta between the cost of a like-for-like replacement and historic restoration. The council voted to approve the resolution offering support; counsel noted any formal IGA modification would return to council for approval.
