City Hall's move to firehouse still on the table

NORWICH – Renovations to the third floor of the firehouse and repairs to the wastewater treatment plant were among topics that came up again at Thursday’s meeting of the city’s Finance and Personnel committee.

The City of Norwich has been discussing the possibility of moving City Hall from its current location at the old train depot to the third floor of the firehouse for several years. The move would have the potential to save the city money on heating and maintenance costs by consolidating operations from two buildings to one.

At Thursday night’s meeting, the question was asked whether the city wanted to proceed with the plans or stop. City Finance Director William Roberts said he had been keeping track of the fund transfers for the project over the years.
