Environmental Assessment Worksheet for Demolition of
338 S. Broadway Ave.
The City of Albert Lea is proposing the demolition of the former Broadway Theater building at 338 S. Broadway Ave. after engineers assessed its condition as structurally deficient, unsafe, and uninhabitable. Because the building is within Albert Lea’s historic district, the state of Minnesota requires an Environmental Assessment Worksheet on the project. This worksheet summarizes the project’s potential environmental effects and helps decide if a more comprehensive review is necessary. It is open for public comment through Sept 18.
After the public comment ends, the Albert Lea City Council will decide whether to pursue a more in-depth Environmental Impact Statement on the proposed demolition.
