Playing Post Office

The Centre City Development Corp. is paying $10,160 to Heritage Architecture to create a “list of potential new uses, creative adaptive reuse design scenarios and provide cost-estimating services for the selected alternatives,” for rehabilitating the old downtown post office building on E Street, according to a July contract. CCDC’s Derek Danziger says there are no immediate plans to move the post office, but the agency ultimately wants to build a park on the south half of the block…Democratic Assemblyman Marty Block is gradually paying back the big debt his campaign owes to Richie Ross, the well-connected campaign consultant to ex-Speaker Willie Brown. According to recent financial disclosure filings, Block’s campaign paid $100,000 to the Sacramento-based Ross during the first half of this year. That leaves just $15,000 to go.
