There was a public meeting on January 18 at the Green Lake School regarding the historic Green Lake County Courthouse in Downtown Green Lake. The event featured a presentation of preliminary findings about the site by Jason Valerius of MSA Professional Services, Inc., as well as discussion about those findings and about residents’ ideas and preferences for the future of the site and buildings. The presentation slides are provided here: Green Lake Courthouse Public Meeting Presentation. Comments are welcome through January 31, and can be submitted using either the comment form provided at the meeting: Green Lake Courthouse Jan 18 Public Meeting Comment Form (see instructions on the form) or the website comment feature below (“leave a comment”). The comment form from the meeting features specific questions about the site, including a brief survey about your priorities for the site.
The meeting also included a separate presentation by Fran Hill of The Cornerstone Project, providing an update on that group’s effort to assemble a viable collection of uses for the existing buildings. The Cornerstone Project hopes to make an offer to the County in March 2012. Cornerstone’s handout is available here: Cornerstone Project Jan 18 Handout
Thank you for your interest in the future of the historic Green Lake County Courthouse.
