The following is a news release about the meeting:

Mayor Harry Tutunjian announced the first of several public meetings regarding the future of City Hall, the redevelopment of current City Hall site, and the relocation of City Hall will be held on Wednesday December 2, 2009 at Christ Church United Methodist.

“The redevelopment of the current City Hall site is a transformative event that will bring more residents, jobs, and economic development investment to Troy,” said Mayor Tutunjian. “Public participation is an integral factor for making this project a success. Specifically, at this meeting we will be looking for input from residents as to what they believe will be the best alternatives for developments at this site.”

Sasaki Associates was chosen earlier this year from a list of more than 25 consultants from around the country to help with the redevelopment of this site. They’ve been working with City Staff since then and are examining eight sites in the downtown area as potential places for a future City Hall.

“Christ Church welcomes the City of Troy for this important meeting and is privileged to be able to offer our space as a community resource,” said Pastor Nina Nichols. “We are glad to play a part in envisioning the future of our city.”

The public meeting will consist of power point presentations, a breakdown of all the separate parts of the project being looked at, and potential uses for the current City Hall site. Discussion will be led by Sasaki Associates
