Town Office Feasibility Committee Update
Click here for Press Release - A New Chapter For Avon
Over the last several months, the Town Offices Feasibility Committee has been working closely with the Architect and Town Administrator to consider the best path forward for the town regarding renovating the existing town hall verses building a new municipal building. This committee has unanimously voted to recommended to the Select Board that building a new municipal complex which would house the Town Hall, COA, Park & Recreation, and School Administration, on land to be donated to the town, is a very wise decision.
Given the donated land’s proximity to the police department and Sylvester Memorial Field, creation of a “municipal complex” consolidates town assets to better serve the town’s needs into the foreseeable future. Article 12 at the upcoming 2024 Annual Town Meeting will be asking for $1.95M to fund design and owner project manager services for this new municipal complex. Over the next couple of months, residents will have the opportunities to tour the current facilities, learn about perspective plans, and funding sources for the project.
On March 23, 2024, from 10 a.m. until noon, we will be opening the Town Hall and COA, so residents will be able to walk though and observe firsthand the current conditions of both buildings. Members of the Feasibility Committee and the Town Administrator will also be available to answer questions. Light snacks and refreshments will be served. All the information that has been utilized in making these decisions, including all the supplemental information, can be found on the town’s website. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss the project in detail, please feel free to contact Jonathan Beder, Town Administrator at 508-588-0414 EXT. 1020, or by email at jbeder@avon-ma.gov.
