The Town Hall in George Town, which has served many purposes throughout the years and was used as a court room for Traffic Court in most recent years. This ceased after Hurricane Ivan in 2004, and though the facility had undergone some repairs in the years since, no money had been allotted to complete repairs.
The government has since provided about $25,000 for completion of the repairs.
"There is just one finishing piece we would like to add, which are Hurricane rated windows that will arrive in a few days time. We've got new bathrooms, fire alarms, life safety systems and electrical rewiring," explained Facilities Manager Richard Sanfillipo.
He added that the Town Hall would be assigned a caretaker and then be put back on the market for rent in late September. Whether the facility will be used for court proceedings in the future remains uncertain.
"The Town Hall has so much historical significance that the public should have access to it. It belongs to the people and we would not want to take that away from them," he concluded.
