Without special permits from the city, the mayor, the historic society and the governor, the cones along Havana St. between the I-70 exit and MLK Blvd., will remain forever.\n\u201cIt is really a great honor, and really neat to add yet another historic thing to our community,\u201d said SUN President Grant Bearbower.  \u201cObviously, we had confidence the tower would gain this status, and we had hope for the construction cones, but it is never a sure thing.  Just very exciting.\u201d\n<!--more-->\nThe landmark status came within one month of not happening.  \u201cAccording to city officials, gaining landmark status has several requirements,\u201d said Bearbower.  \u201cThe biggest one is that the items or area up for consideration must not have been touched for at least four years.  At one point, the city considered actually doing construction, and that, obviously would have derailed any status we were hoping to achieve for the cones.\u201d\nThere will be a special ribbon cutting ceremony June 23rd across from the prison.  Residents are encouraged to come down, but to leave the kids at home. ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[88],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2205","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-31","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2205\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
