What's in the Public Files on the Old Town Hall


I finally got to go through the public file on the Old Town Hall.  There are some real estate records, the P&S from 7/25/2005, and a copy of the old deed from 3/7/1843 Book 336 Leaf 25.

Mostly there are the records of the Municipal Building Reuse Committee (MBRC), including their RFP from 2004, and copies of the 4 proposals, an appraisal report, building covenants and references to the Historical Commission, and so on. They did a lot of work on this project.

There is a cost estimate from Hanney and Mayo for the whole project, at $1.8 million with a completion date of Christmas 2005. At a MBRC meeting, a handful of well known citizens spoke in support of the Hanney proposal but there were few facts cited, and there was no hard evidence of financial viability.
