The Canal Place Preservation and Development Authority’s recent decision to patch the roof of the aging Footer Dye Works building raised some eyebrows in the community- as many view putting any money into the deteriorating structure as a waste of time and money. Former Board member Mark Widmyer who resigned from the board just last week was one of those who feel there is a way to raze the structure instead of spending more money on it.
