Evanston Now
The City of Evanston has launched a new website seeking community ideas for future uses for the civic center, police-fire headquarters and the Noyes Cultural Arts Center.
It’s part of the Putting Assets to Work program the City Council adopted last year and that has received a nearly $1 million federal grant.
Credit: GoogleThe old civic center building is more than a century old and city staff estimated a year ago it could take $60 million or more to renovate.
The police fire headquarters is roughly 75 years old and considered inadequate for the police department’s needs.
The Noyes Cultural Arts Center Credit: GoogleThe Noyes Center is estimated to need more than $20 million of renovation work to have it continue in its current use.
