Advisory Regarding Access to Gardner City Hall During Step Construction
The City of Gardner advised: “The front entrance to City Hall will be closed for the next few weeks while construction occurs to refurbish the steps. During this time, all other entrances to City Hall will be open to the public during regular business hours and for any public meetings that occur. The City Hall Drop Box in the front walkway will still be accessible during this time period as well. Thank you for your patience during this time.”
Background: The Gardner City Council earlier this year voted to reappropriate just under $8.2 million from the Gardner Elementary School surplus to other City projects having a useful life of at least 30 years. Listed for City Hall are the following: electrical service upgrade – $525,000, facade improvements – $50,000, bathroom renovations – $85,000, entryway repairs – $115,000, and $400,000 for window and door replacements in Perry Auditorium.
