Information on the New Municipal Complex

Why do we need a new Municipal Complex?

• Present facilities are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of the public or the Town’s personnel.
• Current town hall facility is not easily accessible to all residents; has safety issues – building and fire code improvements are needed. Present Town Hall has asbestos issues, contaminated water, mold, odorous gasses, etc. . . . aging facility is irremediable. It is more costly to repair current facility than to build new. In addition to overcrowding of personnel, files, and storage areas, the facilities are dangerous for employees working late due to its current remote location.

Who benefits from the Proposed Municipal Complex?

• It is a win-win situation for all town residents and town employees.
  -Centrally located where the current police and fire station is located on Route 118 (334 Anawan Street). All town offices will be housed in one building!!! No longer do residents find themselves going to three different locations for building permits. One-stop shopping for all the resident’s needs – pay taxes, pull a permit, register your dog, etc.
  -New Proposed Municipal Complex is functional; a responsible design which addresses today’s needs and anticipates growth over the next 25-years.
