Board accepts Cicada Architecture proposal for Patterson Farm stabilization at $99,000
Summary
Supervisors voted 5–0 to accept Cicada Architecture and Planning's $99,000 proposal to provide stabilization and adaptive‑reuse planning for the Patterson Farmstead; staff said the work is funded through a statewide local‑share grant and will not change building use.
The board unanimously approved contracting with Cicada Architecture and Planning for stabilization and adaptive‑reuse planning work at Patterson Farm, accepting a base fee of $99,000 to scope repairs and produce preliminary plans.
Township manager David told the board the project will use a statewide local‑share account grant that the township had received; during discussion he and board members emphasized that Cicada’s work is focused on stabilizing the existing farmstead buildings and does not contemplate a change of use. "That is correct," David said when asked; a supervisor reiterated, "I don't want anyone to think we're going any further than that." The board approved the contract 5–0.
Staff said Cicada’s scope will establish an achievable program of structural stabilization within the limits of the grant funding and will help the township pursue further plans and fundraising for remaining repairs. The board and staff said they will return with updates on scope, design steps and subsequent procurement as work proceeds.
