SAVE THE NORTHFIELD DEPOT!

“We need to preserve this Northfield landmark and celebrate our history before we lose this priceless asset".

For the past two years Northfield in Bloom has had many discussions with various community members about how to Save the Depot.  A great number of organizations in Northfield, among them the Heritage Preservation Commission, the NDDC, the EDA, the Northfield Historical Society, the Chamber of Commerce, Northfield in Bloom, the Garden Club and the City have voiced an interest in this project.  City Fathers and Mothers in the discussion have included Lynn Vincent, Pat Allen, Chip DeMann, Brett Reese, Jim Machacek, Rob Martin, Bob Will, Judy Code, Alice Thomas, Steve Edwins, and others are willing to give of their time and talent to this most worthy community project.
 
These discussions have emphasized the urgency to move forward on saving the depot. Its future is very uncertain if not acquired and moved. As you know, the Railroad removed the roof from one of their properties and scheduled its demolition for this spring.  These efforts are beginning to gain traction. 

Current Save the Depot Initiatives

A “Save the Depot” group has formed, and applied for a 501(c) 3 status, who will become the owners and operators of the relocated depot. The group co-chairs are Lynn Vincent and Rob Martin, with members Alice Thomas, Pat Allen, Chip DeMann, Steve Edwins, and Clark Webster.
