Impact analysis
Taxpayers and the city budget could face a $215 million tab, though landmark status may bring outside preservation money to offset some of it.
Preservationists, construction and restoration firms, and residents who want a restored civic landmark could come out ahead.
If costs fall on local taxpayers or money gets pulled from other city services, residents could feel the pinch.
