Next Town Meeting

Charlestown Town Hall
Next Planning and Zoning Meeting
Tuesday, August 3, 2010 6:30PM
Charlestown Town Hall
- The Town Maintenance staff will soon begin the first phase of a project to correct the storm water issues around the Town Hall, Post Office, Playground and Conestoga Street. The first phase of the project should improve the standing water situation in the Conestoga Street area. This long-awaited project will require some of the work to be performed by outside contractors when the phase 2 portion of the project is begun later this year. We were hopeful that Federal Stimulus money might have been available so the entire project could have been done by an outside contractor, but the Town was not successful in our attempts to obtain funding. The Town does not have the equipment to excavate at the required depth which is necessary for this project to be successful when completed.

Cecil Hotel Restoration Project
The Cecil Hotel, located at the corner of Caroline and Bladen Streets was, as most of you know, purchased by the Town of Charlestown in 2009 year to prevent this historic structure, built in 1809, from being removed from the Town. We have lost historic buildings in the past. This is a difficult renovation project in these current economic times, as grant money to repair the structure is very difficult to obtain. We do have a very enthusiastic group of individuals, however, having experience in many facets of restoration and construction, contributing their time to assist in the process. We are hopeful that grant money will be more readily available in the upcoming year to enable the Town to continue the renovation project.
