The Fredonia building in Capitol Hill will be redeveloped, leading to a split in its structure as part of a new urban plan. This change has sparked concern among residents who fear the loss of a significant part of their community's heritage. Local advocates are mobilizing to ensure that the redevelopment honors the building's historical significance while modernizing the area. The proposed project includes new amenities that could improve local business opportunities and attract more visitors.
