Should Sandpoint Depot Be Saved?

The mayor listed a half page full in last week’s edition of the Sandpoint Reader, Sandpoint’s alternative newsweekly. They had to do with who would own and maintain the depot in the future and whether and how to keep it even if the city loses its Amtrak stop. Money figured significantly as well—who would provide it, how much was needed, and whether any would be generated. Councilman John Reuter provided a definitive answer to many of them on the same page: “Instead of asking: ‘Should we save the Depot?’ We must ask: What will it take and what can we do to save the Depot?’”/Cate Huisman, New West. More here.

Question: Do you think the old depot in Sandpoint is worth saving?
