RICHMOND â Faced with an aging, deteriorating Town Hall, a reactivated committee of officials and residents is proposing a nearly $6.6 million project to create a modern community center, including municipal offices and a library.
It would be built on town-owned property north of the Richmond Consolidated School on Route 41 (State Road). If approved by voters, the cost to taxpayers with an average-priced home would amount to less than 50 cents a day for a 30-year bond, the primary funding source for the project.
âThe 100-year-old Town Hall is in very bad shape, and itâs not getting any better,â said Pat Callahan, chairwoman of the Municipal Building Committee, during a virtual briefing for residents Saturday. It was the first in a series of six Zoom meetings to acquaint residents with the project.
