Has anyone seen a Master Plan for the Town Hall expansion project.
I missed the meeting last Wednesday January 16, 2013. I set my VCR
to record the Town's cable TV channel to see the meeting later, but
when I went to watch it, nothing was there. I guess someone forgot
to turn on the camera.<br>
<br>
I remember reading that the architect recommended that a Master Plan
for the site be developed. I have looked at the Town's web page and
could not find this document.<br>
<br>
I did find another document that explains 2 proposals for the Town
Hall expansion<br>
<br>
1. <u>Youth and Community Wing Expansion to Town Hall</u><br>
<br>
One design is a two-story alternative which thoroughly addresses
stated needs and Guiding Design Principles<br>
developed from community input and is presented on the next page.
This design would virtually double the floor space in the building;
substantially improve the flexibility of how the floor space can be
used; and will handle some expansion of demand beyond what we are
currently experiencing (that is to say some additional uses would be
able to be accommodated beyond current demand).<br>
<br>
<br>
2. <u>Small Addition to Building</u><br>
<br>
The second alternative stays with the existing one-story building,
with only a small addition to the building. This<br>
design concentrates on providing more efficiency and flexibility in
the use of floor space. It would not be able to support some of the
community based activities that were identified earlier in the
planning process, but would represent a significant improvement over
our current Town Hall.<br>
<br>
Can anyone advise the approximate cost for each of the 2 proposals.
I remember reading that the Town had $900.000 committed and was
asking the State of Maryland to contribute $500.000 for this
project.<br>
