This session shares the audio for the Davis Thayer Building Reuse Advisory Subcmte meeting held on Monday, June 10, 2024. The meeting was conducted in the Council Chambers.
They had not met this year awaiting the receipt of Expression of Interests in the building/property. Five were confirmed received by the due date, May 31.
