A judge granted a request for a temporary restraining order Wednesday to stop the demolition of a historic building at the Arizona State Fairgrounds, multiple sources report.
The structure known as the Civic Building was built in 1938 by the federal government as the Arizona headquarters of the Works Progress Administration and it played a key role in the implementation of the New Deal in the state during the Great Depression,
An attorney for Preserve Phoenix filed a lawsuit seeking to delay the demolition until alternative options can be explored.
