The commission approved a $4,690 proposal to install a commercial dehumidifier at 5246 Hohman Ave. and a $1,978 estimate to replace the building's awning; staff cited environmental recommendations after sump pump installation.

The Hammond Redevelopment Commission approved two small contracts for repairs and improvements at the Indiana building, 5246 Hohman Avenue.

Commissioners approved a $4,690 proposal from Seemer Heating, Cooling & Plumbing (Schererville) to install a commercial dehumidifier after staff and environmental head Ron Novak advised the work would address increased basement humidity following installation of five sump pumps. The motion passed by unanimous roll call.

The commission also approved a $1,978 estimate from Merrillville Awning to replace a sun-faded and torn awning on the building’s exterior. Commissioners said the new awning will better match recent downtown improvements. Both items were approved as consent motions during the meeting.

Staff said these repairs are part of ongoing downtown rehabilitation and maintenance of commission-owned buildings; no additional funding sources or timelines were given at the meeting.
