Board weighs renovating former credit union building for police or township offices
Summary
Board member Kuznicki reviewed options to renovate the former Credit Union building as space for the police department, township offices, or both, noting renovation costs could range from minimal to extensive and that the township received $130,000 from the sale of the Huntington Bank building; board members expressed reluctance to take a loan to fund renovations.
Board member Kuznicki told the Committee of the Whole on July 15 that the township is considering renovating the former Credit Union building and discussed three relocation options: the police department only; both the police department and township offices; or township offices only. Kuznicki said renovation costs could range from minimal to extensive and emphasized concerns about the cost’s impact on residents and the township general fund.
The discussion noted the township gained $130,000 from the sale of the Huntington Bank building. Kuznicki and other board members said they were not in favor of borrowing money to pay for renovations. The board also discussed the alternative of expanding the police department within the existing Governmental Center and reallocating portions of that building for DDA/Parks & Rec or for community meetings and events.
No motion or formal vote on the renovation plan was recorded during the meeting. The item remained at the discussion stage, with board members signaling caution about cost and resident impacts before any decision on relocation or renovation funding.
