Though flush with more than $3 million today, the City

Although there's several historic buildings aroung downtown that could benefit from this fund, I wouldn't mind seeing most, if not, all of it go to the Marble Bank, Bisbee and Florida buildings.

As I see it, either you split it up and see little visual improvement over a large area, or you dump it into the heart of downtown (Adams & Laura Corridor), on a large, high profile and architectural significant project like this. In my opinion, the restoration of this block along, with the Barnett building should be the city's most important priority in downtown.

I agree. It would also be nice to see them replenish the funding so there's some available for other projects.
