At the May 6 Moore Township Board of Supervisors meeting, township Manager Stephen Nowroski said the plan to replace or renovate the township municipal building needs a feasibility study to begin moving forward.

After the meeting, Nowroski said he planned to have a conversation with the Klecknersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Department to discuss the possibility of moving the municipal services to the fire department property.

The supervisors previously discussed a renovation or replacement of the municipal building, to be competed in about two years. The plan is to raise the funds using grants and low-interest loans to pay for the major project.

The three options, provided by a developer at a previous meeting, are to demolish the current building and construct a new building, to renovate the current building with an additional wing or take on a smaller renovation of the current building and an addition. Costs for the three options range from about $12.7 million to $8.8 million.

The fire department property adds a fourth option for supervisors to consider regarding rebuilding or renovating.

Nowroski is already investigating grant opportunities to fund whichever project the supervisors will decide to pursue. The renovation or rebuild of a new municipal building will take about two years to complete.

An outline and information about the feasibility study is available from the township office. It was emphasized the multipage feasibility study might change as the decision process develops.
