Iannelli Floor Plan
Kalo's intentionally concise Master Plan indicates a
range of potential adaptive uses for the buildings. Likewise both a new name
for the facility -- Iannelli Studios Heritage Center -- and a three
paragraph "vision statement" have been carefully determined. Clearly, making
Park Ridge a better place while being a good neighbor is paramount.
Kalo's application for National Register listing is progressing well
via the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, as required by law.
Significant pro-bono professional guidance on all these matters has come
from Mr. John Garrett Thorpe [Restoration Architect] and Ms. Lisa DeChiera
[Landmarks Illinois].
Anticipating zoning success, Kalo will redouble its fund-raising
efforts towards reaching $400,000 goal by July 4, 2011, so as to attain the
full $1-for-$2 challenge grant addition of $200,000. Contribution
commitments from individuals and charitable foundations amounting to $70,000
have already been received, which with the match amount to over $100,000
raised in two months. Kalo extends its grateful appreciation to all who have
already found its easy-to-use pledge process at:
