After a lengthy hearing in Topeka, the state Legislature won’t be taking action to save Century II and the former Wichita downtown library. The Save Century II group argued their case for state intervention before the House Local Government Committee. Save Century II members Celeste Racette, John Todd, Karl Peterjohn and Walt Chappell were asking lawmakers to require a binding public election before any decisions are made to tear down the historic buildings to replace them with a sweeping redevelopment of the Arkansas River front where they stand.
