Subject: Public/Non-Profit Partnerships

Shaker Heritage Society is attempting to turn a neglected but
historically significant County owned site (a National Historic
District) into a community asset.  Right now the site is a white
elephant that happens to be located across the street from an
international airport.  We gathered representatives of the Town, County,
Airport Authority and our board to work together to realize the full
potential of the site & just issued RFQ's to develop a master plan for
the site.  We are also renegotiating our lease with the County.

Are there any models of a public/private partnership that we could look
to as we move forward through this process?  There's also the issue of
years of defered maintenance and the need for on-going maintenance which
everyone wants to pass on to someone else.  I'd appreciate hearing from
anyone who may have models, experience & wisdom to share.    Thanks,

-Star
