Fate of the Historic Huning House
Summary
The century-old Huning House — Vice Mayor Kakavas's childhood home — faced demolition under floodplain rules, but the Council chose to save and move it to make room for a downtown plaza, ramada and restrooms. Relocation costs about $77,000 before remodeling, and the building's future use is still undecided.
