Last week's meeting: Shirley Roberts, Eric Jylha, Dave Rogers, spoke about the potential of the Bay City Masonic Temple as a community arts center.
Citing "important ties to the history of the community," Mrs. Roberts said: "We need to save, preserve and provide an appropriate adaptive reuse of the Bay City MasonicTemple so it will serve the community well into the future." She is executive director of the Bay Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Preservation of the Masonic Temple meets five of the six goals of the community cultural arts plan, she said. "The Bay Arts Council has held a special meeting and approved a resolution to pursue acquisition of the Masonic Temple," she stated.
Possible uses of the 1893 building include an arts incubation center, conservatory of music or workspace for artists and students. The facility does not lend itself for use as a performing arts facility, she said.
Eric Jylha said a goal is to include Masonic groups in the future of the building. "Nobody wants top demolish this building," he contended.
Mrs. Roberts called the building "a community treasure" and said a process will be undertaken to "determine the highest and best use" of the building.###
