Paxton boards, offices move to Public Safety Building

PAXTON — The Select Board may soon be broadcasting from a new location.

The plan was for the board to meet in the training room at the Public Safety Building, possibly by the end of the month.

On target, the board met there for its Jan. 30 meeting.

Town Administrator Heather Munroe told the board Jan. 9 that work had progressed on the goal.

“The Cable Access Committee has had a company installing new cameras and wires over in the Training Room,” Munroe reported.

“The front lobby is getting a facelift with some fresh paint and more customer-friendly access. Our goal is to still move our land use coordinator to the old dispatch area, now estimated to be around Feb. 1. There is now a customer window direct access for the police administration. Once the land use coordinator moves, the public will be able to enter the public safety building lobby without ringing a door bell and receiving direct service,” she said.

The effort will provide a larger meeting space for committees. Some, like the Select Board, had been meeting in the John Bauer Senior Center on West Street.

The area being used for office space was once needed for the dispatch center, now part of the regional center in Holden.
