Hague Historical Society asks town to fund engineering study before museum expansion
Summary
The Hague Historical Society asked the town board to pursue funding for a comprehensive engineering and needs assessment of the community center, saying the building must meet code compliance before museum expansion can proceed.
Council member reported on behalf of the Hague Historical Society, noting the society's Aug. 3 program was well attended and that the group is assembling a pictorial history book for release next summer. The society "has respectfully asked the town board to pursue funding of an engineering study of the community center building," the council member said, arguing the town needs a full assessment to address handicap access, sprinklers and other code issues before any museum expansion.
The society told the board it considers a comprehensive community-center needs assessment a "signature project" and stressed that without code compliance the museum cannot be expanded. The board acknowledged the request and said it would pursue communications and petitions related to funding; no formal appropriation or vote was recorded on the engineering study during this meeting.
