training center, further evaluation found the Mattress Company building would require
additional structural reinforcement, increasing project costs to $7.3 million. USA
Climbing cannot absorb costs beyond the $6 million provided by the CRA. As an

block clad with the historic brick, which would require an additional $250,000. The
Board will discuss the adaptive reuse and reconstruction options.
