Summit Township still weighing new building creation
Summit Township supervisors tabled a motion to select a company to construct a new township municipal building at a meeting Wednesday, May 1.
Willie Adams, Summit Township supervisor chairman, said Thursday that prior to his time in office, the township purchased property adjacent to the current municipal building on Bonniebrook Road, where a new municipal building could be built. The township received and opened three bids from companies to work on the project Wednesday, according to Adams.
Plans for the new building, Adams said, include offices and a garage, and it would be located “on the other side of the parking lot” of the township’s current municipal building at 502 Bonniebrook Road.
While the township could select a company to construct the new building within a 60-day time period from the opening of the bids, Adams said there is no rush for the supervisors to relocate offices to a new building.
“It would be nice to have a new building, but there is a cost,” Adams said. “We might just stay where we’re at for a while.”
Adams said there is no timeline for when the township would embark on construction of the new building.
