Town barn to be torn down
NORWICH – The Norwich Town Board approved a bid Monday to begin demolition of the old town barn. Bids on the project ranged from $17,000 to $22,000, said Town Supervisor David C. Law.
The board narrowed the final selection to the last two bidders and after a brief review, they selected Burrell’s Excavating. The town will pay the company $17,500 to remove the East River Road structure, which was replaced by the adjacent new facility last year. Crews have already begun stripping the old barn’s interior. The town will however have to pay the landfill tipping fee, estimated to be around another $2,000 to $4,000. To pay for the project, the board approved moving $25,000 from the general fund balance to the capital improvement fund.
“We won’t need all of that, but until it’s clear how much the tipping fee will end up being, it’s better to move over a little extra than to be coming up a little short later,” said board member Adam Evans.
The board also discussed the upcoming public meeting concerning the Rt. 12 corridor project, set for 7 p.m. Sept. 20 at the Stanford Gibson Elementary School auditorium. There will be a separate meeting at 5 p.m. for local officials and Law said he planned on attending.
Law also reported the approval of a zoning permit to allow a new lending institution, Beneficial Finance, to move from downtown Norwich into the Chenango Towne Plaza.
The board also discussed new street light considerations near Fred’s Inn along Rt. 12 and the county project taking place at the Halfway House Bridge. Some of the lighting in the area may become part of the county’s responsibility depending on the outcome of the project, Law said.
The next town board meeting will be on Oct. 15 at the Norwich Town Hall.
