An info-only presentation about the redevelopment of Bok Technical High School at 1901 S. 9th St. took place last night in front of a packed house at Southwark Elementary School.
Scannapieco mentioned that they will seek historic tax credits to preserve the property. Early plans include multiple “live/maker” spaces where innovation can take place as well as “affordable rental [residential] units” in the upper floors. This would include membership spaces, much like NextFab Studio, filled with equipment and tools. It would also include entrepreneurial co-working spaces for start-ups, tech companies, other small businesses or even job training.
