On the record

What the minutes and transcripts record Matt saying, by topic. 3 topics.

  • At the October 10, 2024 PRAB meeting, Rice reported as a stakeholder update that a work session on the Housing and Homelessness Strategic Plan had recently been held at the Planning Commission.

  • Old Town
    in progress

    Rice (Planning Commission stakeholder representative to PRAB) reported in February 2026 that the Planning Commission designated Old Town as one of five activity centers requiring special attention and zoning review for mixed-use development, and in June 2026 reported on the Planning Commission's review of small area plans and the Gallery at City Center submission in Old Town.

  • Old Town Hall
    in progress

    As Planning Commission liaison (via written update, December 2025), Rice flagged the Old Town Hall rehabilitation as a CIP project of interest to PRAB and noted that PRAB feedback was being requested. In March and July 2026 transcript excerpts, Rice reported attending PRAB meetings and noted progress on the renovation, specifically highlighting that window restoration on the second floor is a specialty item being handled by a craftsman in Ohio who 'doesn't rush his work,' and characterizing this as appropriate care for a historic structure.
