Questionnaire to gauge residents’ interest in building a new facility
The selectmen, after a handful of site visits since September in search of a parcel to house the new town hall, have narrowed their selection down to two locations. While the board will not release specific locations, Selectman Velma Jones Hayes disclosed that one parcel is located on Limerick Road, and the other is adjacent to the town garage.
Arundel Town Hall sits on the corner of Limerick and Mountain roads next to Arundel Fire-Rescue. The building’s tight quarters prevent town boards and committees from holding meetings on site.
“It’s small, it’s cramped, and there’s no handicap access. We think it has outlived its useful life,” Shea said of the town hall in July. “We’d like to have the ability to hold our selectmen meetings, town hall meetings and elections right in one building rather than go over to Mildred Day (school) or the fire station with all the voting equipment.”
In the next few weeks, Shea and the board of selectmen plan to compile infor- mation for a questionnaire to be mailed to Arundel residents the first week in December.
