Moratorium on Old Chamber Building

6 months ago the VB extended a moratorium on the Old Chamber Building, at the request of The Alexandria Township Historical Society.  The Historical Society requested the VB to suspend all efforts to sell the building till the ATHS had time to research the potential for grants that would keep the building from being sold and possibly turned into a parking lot.  That moratorium expires this month.  I fear that the VB will not extend the moratorium.  The board is under pressure to raise money for the reconstruction of the Upper James St Dock.  Maybe I am wrong, but I think it has been considered behind closed doors.  I hope that the people that originally rallied to obtain the moratorium 12 months ago, rise again to this worth while cause....
