In today’s Salem News reporter Tom Dalton made an announcement that Old Town Hall received money to work on refurbishing projects in this Gordon-run space:
In the morning state officials held a press conference in the 1816 brick building in Derby Square to announce a $174,000 state grant for renovations. Hours later, at a luncheon in Boston, the former municipal building and marketplace got another $75,000 from American Express’ Partners in Preservation program.
"It's a big day," said Kristina Stevick, codirector of the Institute for Public History at Gordon College, which signed a five-year lease last summer to operate Old Town Hall.
The combined $249,000 will be used to address a long list of projects that includes buying a furnace, reglazing windows, installing structural supports and refurbishing basement bathrooms."
