(KWNO)-In less two weeks residents of Homer Township will decide the future of the Homer Town Hall. Last year the Homer Town Board started making plans to demolish the 103-year-old schoolhouse. But some residents pushed back. The Save Homer Town Hall and Schoolhouse Facebook group is advocating to renovate the building which needs updating to ADA compliance, new doors and windows, asbestos abatement and electrical and HVAC work.
Bids approved by the Homer Town Board in December estimate it would cost up to $395,000 to renovate the town hall and $235,000 to build a new structure. A public vote on the future of the town hall is set for March 12 at 8:00 p.m. at the Witoka Tavern. Township residents must be present to be counted.
