[ Please, please vote to let the Dessau Lutheran Church be moved to Pioneer Farms. So much of our heritage has been lost ‐ this is a piece that is easy to save ‐ just vote yes. What are your reasons for not letting the church move? I know everything has gotten tangled in the pandemic and the inability to meet, but it has gone on for over a year as far as I can tell. Is there something that Pioneer Farms has done that the City doesn't like? Admittedly I'm biased, I've been a volunteer at the Farm since 1995. I've watched buildings be brought out ‐ most recently the Dodson house from a freedman's colony brought out one step ahead of the bulldozers. Do you want Austin's history lost? Is it because we are not a city agency? Please vote yes to the move, the church will be restored and cherished and help tell the story of Austin ‐ just like the Dodson house will do.
