Based upon the findings presented in this report, if the relocation of Fire Station No.
1 occurs, the introduction of a new state-of-the-art fire station and headquarters,
learning center and fire museum should benefit not only those businesses and
properties immediately adjacent to the station, but also those in the surrounding
neighborhood. The addition of such a facility along with the redevelopment and
renovation of the historic Globe Hotel Building, with street-level retail and either upper
floor office or residential space, should stimulate improvement of the tenant profile,
quality of surrounding land uses, and building conditions in the study area. [From the document]
