Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Article 28 at this week’s Annual Town Meeting introduces a request
for $75,000 “for the demolition or repair of the Curtis School”.
A facilities study for the town recently made the following
recommendation for the future of Curtis School:
“Based upon evaluation of this building, and upon consideration of
the various needs expressed by members of the community and the Town
administration, our recommendation to salvage only the basic exterior
historic envelope of this building, to the extent possible, and to
restructure, redesign, and reconstruct the building to serve as a
satellite fire station serving the north end of town.
Prior to undertaking this work, a program of stabilization of the
current structure needs to be put into action, in order to prevent
further deterioration. And a design project should be undertaken, to
study the feasibility of re-use in more depth, including a program for
the proposed satellite fire station, schematic designs, and cost
estimates.”
