Newly renovated main stair in the original Pennell Building. Manager Cabana hopes to hold elections on the second floor of the original building.

- After more than two years of dreaming, planning, designing, and constructing,the moment has finally arrived! Almost.....

Today and tomorrow, and probably during the weekend for some, the newly renovated Henry Pennell Municipal Complex will come to life just in time for town hall to re-open for business on Monday.

While town hall is closed, it is anything but a day off for staff. It's more like a 'dress down' day of hard labor. Everyone is bustling to relocate their offices and have everything in place to begin conducting business on Monday.

According to manager Cabana and Comptroller Markavich, the decision to close for this day and a half, as opposed to conducting the move over the weekend was for fiscal reasons as most of the staff would have been paid overtime for the weekend hours.
