Alternative meeting space extension approved
By Dana Casadei
The Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees, and all other township boards and committees, will continue to hold meetings in the Cable Studio through the end of April as the auditorium undergoes renovations.
Clerk Martin Brook – who brought the extension before the board on Monday, March 24 – said that renovations could be done by the originally anticipated date of Saturday, April 5, but that they had to vote to extend it now in case they were not. If no vote had been taken on an extension and renovations had not been finished by April 5, the board would have had nowhere to meet for their April 7 meeting.
The potential new end date for renovations, April 25, will not impact the cost of the project, Brook said.
“If you haven’t gotten over there it’s very exciting and looks good,” said Mike McCready, township supervisor. “It’s all coming together.”
Within the auditorium, chairs for the public and board are being replaced, the room is getting painted, and an update will be made to the dais. On the electronics side, everything will be updated in the auditorium to allow for improved amplification, broadcasting, and overall presentation.
All meetings of Bloomfield Township boards, commissions, and all other township public bodies, including the board of trustees, zoning board of appeals, planning commission and design review board will continue to meet in the Cable Studio, 4190 Dublin Road, Bloomfield Township.
