This comes as a shock, not only was Fergus Fall (in my opinion) one of the best preserved Kirkbride hospitals, there were also over 200 people that showed up at the city council meeting in support of reuse.   Didn't matter they are moving towards demolition.

Whole Story:

No it doesn't!  There is no progress here.  They are just tearing it down because, "there's grant money for demolition".   There is nothing planned to go in its place.
