Retraction: Preservationists hope to save historic Medical Center

To our readers:

At about 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 5, the Downtown Devil took down an article published earlier that day called “Preservationists hope to save historic Medical Center.” The piece inaccurately stated that the Medical Center may be demolished by the end of this year without verification from the owner of the building, Cable ONE. The reporter attempted to contact Cable ONE prior to the article’s publication

On Monday, April 9, a Cable ONE spokesman confirmed that the Medical Center is not set for demolition. The company never had plans to demolish the building and has plans to improve the appearance of the building in the near future, he said.

CableOne is unable to use the building now but plans to use it as part of its campus of nearby offices, said the spokesman, who asked to remain unnamed.

We sincerely apologize to any readers who were misled by the information provided in our original article article.

Sincerely,
Managing editors of the Downtown Devil
