Batavia’s launching a historic preservation mission: 75 key downtown buildings are getting a full exterior health check to safeguard the city’s architectural legacy for decades to come. Funded by the 2026 city budget, experts from Johnson Lasky Kindelin Architects will inspect roofs, walls, windows, and foundations through August—no peeking inside. Starting with the most iconic structures, including the Campana Building, this detailed audit will create a roadmap for future maintenance, ensuring Batavia’s historic charm stays vibrant and protected.
