NORWICH – The Norwich City Council is considering an offer to buy One City Plaza, the former train depot that’s currently home to City Hall.

Council members recently received a $130,000 offer on the building. Though similar offers have been made before, city officials say this is possibly the first that’s being taken into serious consideration.
