Monkton's Municipal Building Committee Wants to Hear from You!
The Building Committee has been working for well over a year now to determine what kind of facility a majority of residents would support to replace the current town offices and library. You may have completed the survey we distributed last winter, which indicated strong general support for moving forward with an updated proposal to build a new Town Hall facility on the site we all own next to the Friends Methodist Church. Since that survey was completed, the committee has been debating a number of design ideas. The next step will be to invite proposals from architects/builders interested in designing, building and of course estimating the cost to build a new facility. But before we do that, we would like to gather your thoughts on two basic design concepts we have narrowed down to, to make sure we're on the right track.
The Committee will be hosting a New Town Hall Project Open House on Saturday, December 8th, from 10:00 a.m. until Noon at the (old) Monkton Town Hall. We need your thoughts and ideas, so please join us!
* View sketches of two basic design concepts
* Share your thoughts with Committee members and neighbors about which features you would be excited about and willing to support (if the cost is acceptable)
* Take a quick tour of the current town offices and library
* Stop by the building site we purchased for a new Municipal Building back in 2006
Drop in any time between 10 and noon--we'll have coffee and snacks available, too. You might stop by right after dropping off your recycling, or maybe just before purchasing one of the fine Christmas trees and wreaths the Monkton Boy Scouts will be selling right next door to our building lot.
