Purpose of Report
To provide an update to the Executive on progress made to secure external funding to refurbish a historic building in the city and approve a partnership agreement with Heritage Lincolnshire.
Decision
That the recommendations contained within the report be approved.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected
The project viability report, as set out in paragraph 2.3 of the report, sets out alternative options considered and rejected.
Reason for Decision
The building in question had been vacant for many years. Working in partnership with Heritage Lincolnshire, the Council was successful in a bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Architectural Heritage Fund to carry out a project viability report. This set out a number of options to bring the building back into use, as detailed within the report.
Members welcomed this opportunity to bring the building back into use.
