NORWICH – The Norwich City Council wants residents to weigh in on a plan to sell One City Plaza, the former train depot that now houses city hall.
The council has scheduled a public hearing to be held at at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17, at the Norwich City Courthouse. The city hopes to hear input relative to selling the current city hall building and moving administrative offices to the third floor of the firehouse.
The city council received a $130,000 offer from the Norwich accounting firm Cwynar and Company earlier this year. While similar offers have been made in the past, city officials say this is possibly the first that’s being taken into serious consideration.
Council members have had several discussions on the pros and cons of selling and relocating city offices, and the eight employees who work there, to the vacant third floor of the firehouse on East Main.
The benefit of doing so, according to Mayor Christine Carnrike, is twofold: the city would spare the burden of maintenance and upkeep; and it would add property to the local tax roll.
The property's listed with a $300,000 taxable value on the 2019 assessment roll.
The city council is split on the decision to continue entertaining a sale.
