Peacock Building site to be museum By HEATHER ZADRA Special to the Herald Times RANGELY I A piece of Rangely history came down when the structure popularly known as the “Peacock Building” was demol- ished last week. Another form of history, a car museum, will take its place. The building, initially a large shop with a small office on its south side, took on a distinct look over the years as owner Harry Peacock built additions using oil storage tanks cut in half and lifted, with steel sheets welded to the tanks for additional height. The structures were not insulated, but burning used motor oil and natural gas pro- vided ample heat, Peacock said. The building’s location near Main Street on South Stanolind Avenue made it an ideal place for the businesses that eventually grew from there. A propane company dispatch center before Peacock bought it, the structure later housed Peacock Well Service, Little Rocky Construction Co. and Peacock Oil Co.

Save our historic school! town moving to give school to county to demolish and build a jail contact town and county to oppose this move I ———————— ———————— e-mail | call | write: meeker town administration: [email protected] 970 878-5344 county commissioners: [email protected] 970 878-9430

the meeker community center task force is a group of concerned citizens seeking to save the historic school from destruction and re purpose it for a community center that would benefit youth, adults and seniors. A jail benefits no one and can easily be built in a more appropriate location as originally planned. The com- missioners plan to spend $10-15 million of your tax dollars on this project. If some of those funds were spent on improving the downtown area with a community center rather than a jail, a much greater benefit for the community would be available. The county has two perfectly good sites for building a jail. They don't need to destroy the old school for their project. A community center can be win-win situation for the community and for the county with both achieving their needs if a conflict over where to put the jail can be agreed upon. A jail does not belong on the site of the old school when plenty of space is available north of the courthouse as originally planned or on the meeker terrace.

• despite the opposition of more than 70 meeker residents at the may 7 town meeting, the town voted to transfer the school to the county. This will occur offi- cially in early June. The county has indicated they plan to destroy the historic school and build a jail.

• The rio blanco county planning commission policy on historic preservation approved by the county commissioners in 2011 states that the county will ensure the preservation of historic buildings and venues; the commissioner's plan to demolish the school is a direct contradiction of their own preservation policy for historic buildings

• heritage tourism is a major component of colorado's visitors particularly from out of state. Colorado had more than 28 million tourists in 2010. Heritage tourists seek historic western towns with historic buildings and sites to visit. Heritage Tourists typically spend an average of $380 per trip which is $114 more than average tourists because of their special interests. This benefits the local economy in many ways.

• History Colorado and colorado preservation offer competitive grant programs which if successful may result in $millions to renovate and re purpose the school and courthouse buildings.

• a meeker community center could provide a variety of venues for the people of meeker including [but not limited to] an assisted living center, a hospice, a performing arts and cultural center, artists studios, a conference and meeting center, a tourism center, and much more.

• many other philanthropic foundations such as gates family, boettcher, el pomar, anschutz, daniels, exxon-mobil, et al, have large grants available for re purposing his- toric buildings. It is estimated that more than $33 billion is available for various grants in colorado alone. A professional grant writer can submit grant requests suc- cessfully and fund such undertakings if local governments cooperate.

• The school is on the top 5 list for designation as a national register of historic places building which would make it eligible for grants and re purposing

• meeker is desperately in need of economic development and a community center will offer many opportunities to improve the local economy. This has been done in numer- ous rural colorado communities such as salida, grand lake, carbondale, creede, pagosa springs and many more

• the county already has detailed plans to build a jail north of the current courthouse or on meeker terrace and should proceed with those plans, not destroy a landmark historical school in the downtown meeker historic district.

• a jail built on the site of the old school will not provide any increase in local revenue for businesses or the economy and will ruin the downtown historic dis- trict ambiance which heritage tourists have come to enjoy for many years. Tourists don't come to see jails.

• parking can be undergrounded and not waste valuable surface space where a community center can be located. Many communities requiring parking build under- ground leaving the surface for green space and useful structures. Revenue from parking fees could helpsupport a community center.

• Creative districts for performing and fine arts can create jobs and attract tourism to rural communities. Plans are underway to designate downtown meeker as a "colorado creative district."

• engineering and architectural reports from the epa and civil engineers have certified that the 74-year-old school is in good condition and suitable for re pur- posing. There is no need for major repairs or asbestos abatement unless the building is demolished and is safe to use for public events.

• many community groups already use the building for meetings, dinner theatres, arts and craft shows, conferences and meetings as there are not adequate ven- ues available in meeker.

• demolition of the school has been estimated by the environmental protection agency [epa] to cost up to 2 million dollars due to asbestos abatement before the building could be demolished. it would be far less expensive to re purpose the building as a community center. Is spending $2 million of your tax dollars for demolition of an historic school a wise investment by the county when better and less expensive alternatives are available?

• are the ambitions of the town and county governments more important than the wishes of the citizens of meeker? Some of negotiations by the town and coun- ty may have been without benefit of adequate public input, and in opposition to expressed wishes of many meeker citizens. act now before it is too late! Tell the town and county that you don't want a jail on the school site!
