Alcove Development, tied to a controversial data center project, bought the historic building with plans for affordable senior housing—but twice failed to secure crucial tax credits, citing lack of nearby amenities. Despite a past agreement requiring upkeep, maintenance stalled after the deal expired. Yet, the developer is pushing forward: they’ve already bought materials and hired a contractor to board up broken windows, and plan to reapply for tax credits early next year. The city waits for full property security before inspection, while neighbors demand accountability. This is a story of stalled dreams, crumbling infrastructure, and the fight to preserve history—or rebuild it.
