What happened
City Council approval is sought for a mediation settlement that permits the Ashley Hall Foundation to demolish a structure at 148 Smith Street, provided no eligible party relocates it by November 30, 2026. The BAR-S previously denied the demolition request.
Why it matters
If the structure is not relocated, demolition contractors will be needed to remove the existing building, foundation, and debris. Site work contractors will be needed for final site clearing after demolition.
Timing
City Council approval is pending. If approved, the demolition could occur any time after November 30, 2026, if no party undertakes relocation. A demolition permit will still be required.
