After preservation fight, Peavey Plaza likely to remain

A historic but aging plaza in the heart of downtown Minneapolis likely will avoid the wrecking ball after negotiations between preservationists and the city.

Here's a joint statement from the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota and The Cultural Landscape Foundation:  The Preservation Alliance of Minnesota and The Cultural Landscape Foundation are pleased that the City of Minneapolis now recognizes the historic value of Peavey Plaza, and has abandoned plans for its demolition.  We look forward to collaborating with the city on developing plans to rehabilitate the plaza. Appropriate renovation will respect Peavey’s significant design while improving its operation so that it can remain a treasured downtown asset.
