The Municipal Building Committee has asked for more time to draft final schematic designs and a budget for the renovation of Town Hall and Hildreth House, and has rescheduled its presentation to a joint session of the Selectmen and the capital and finance committees for Thursday, March 1.

At its final public forum Thursday evening, the committee planning the renovation of Town Hall recommended that its historic “great hall” on the second floor be restored to its original use as a large community assembly space, but outfitted with moveable dividers to create smaller meeting areas, when needed.

The forum convenes Thursday evening at 7 p.m. in Volunteers Hall at the town library, where attendees will get to hear both sides of the argument and will be able to express their opinions to the committee and each other.

Former Selectman Lucy Wallace will again be running for a seat on the board. Wallace announced her intention to run in a press release this morning.

Members of the Municipal Building Committee got back to work last week on reducing the size of plans for Town Hall.

The Municipal Building Committee voted yesterday to recommend to the Board of Selectmen that the town replace the current octagonal addition on the north end of town hall with a new one, but with dimensions more modest than the most ambitious addition it has considered.
