In a decision favoring proponents of historic preservation and revitalization in Arlington, the Jacksonville City Council voted unanimously Tuesday in favor of an ordinance designating the former Arlington Federal Savings & Loan building as a historic landmark.
Pending Mayor Donna Deegan’s signature — or an appeal of the decision by the property owner to Circuit Court – the Council’s 17-0 vote subjects any plans to demolish the 62-year-old building or alter its street-facing portions to a review for historic appropriateness.
