Are there any special cultural resources/Historical Buildings located within the ORT construction areas? How will they be protected?

The potential presence and protection of cultural resources is an important consideration for the ORT project. As part of the project permitting process, ALCOSAN has been working diligently with the State Historic Preservation Office to identify such potential historic properties so that any potential adverse effect can be identified and mitigated as part of the project specifications. Several listed or eligible properties, including the Western State Penitentiary, the D.L. Clark Building and the St Wenceslaus Church Complex, have already been identified. These project considerations and evaluations are dealt with through a formal consultation process initiated in early 2024.
