Options for Public Facilities Phase II for Police & Fire (existing town hall)

Special Projects Manager Dawn Blobaum
Summary: Last May, Brent Green and Michael Supino from Creech and Associates presented to the board a re-design of the existing town hall for a 20-year growth scenario for the police and fire departments.

The renovation of the first floor for the police department satisfies their needs for 20 years.  The renovation of the lower level and addition of approximately 4,200 square feet to the building for the fire department presents operational issues. 

The board will discuss options to consider for Public Facilities Phase II for the police and fire departments.
