I signed this petition the other day, with a comment, but now my name has somehow disappeared, so I’m signing again.
Good luck.
Exploring ways to preserve the barn is important to many.
At least there should be more public profile and awareness on this of the cost/benefit and then a decision made.
Thank you,
Tara MacMahon
