The first legal hurdle has, as of this writing, already been cleared; the
Frederick Public Art Commission approved the project in December 2015.
The Frederick Historic Preservation Commission are scheduled to review
the plans in mid-January, and pending its approval, the project will secure
a building permit from the city.
Instead of suggesting decay, the block will suggest life. No downtown was ever
hurt by having more life in it.

Ideally for Clark, construction on the project would begin in March 2016, and
be completed in April or May, in time to welcome the warmer spring weather.
Alas, even if approved and constructed, the project will not last forever. Much
like the former buildings on Market Street, now represented only by their
façades, this public art installation will one day be taken down and removed.
But whatever time it remains will surely serve the public in a far greater manner
than the boarded-up remnants that have stood there for so long.
