The State Historic Preservation Office is requiring a memorial plaque and a five-year plan for the property at 303 S. Main St. before the city can proceed with demolition, Mayor Jack Robbins told the council.

The city is seeking grant funding to demolish the dilapidated structure. The state's requirements suggest the building may have historical significance, and the memorial plaque and five-year plan are likely conditions attached to any demolition approval or grant funding.
