Newville Borough’s new municipal building is almost complete, and operations could transfer to the new space at 103 S. High St. this summer.
Borough secretary Jody Hoffman said the building still needs its occupancy permit, and officials are waiting to hear that the building is finished from Galbraith Pre-Design Inc., a South Middleton Township-based construction company.
The borough council last Tuesday accepted a proposal from Zeigler’s Storage & Transfer, a Carlisle moving company, to relocate items in the current municipal building at 4 West St. to the new location.
Council President Scott Penner said the company provided a cost estimate of $2,957.38 for the move. That will likely be covered by the borough’s general fund.
“I think that’s extremely cheap, and it does also include a shredding service,” he said.
Hoffman said irrelevant files more than 10 years old will be shredded.
“There’s a lot of antique minutes and things like that [and] those will not get shredded,” she said. “But as far as old files that have … been revised and no longer hold any value, they’ll be shredded.”
Zeigler’s is “pretty well booked” for June but suggested making the move in July, although no date has been selected, Hoffman said.
Penner suggested closing the borough office on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning this week through the move to allow borough staff to determine what needs to be moved and to package items for the move.
During this time, Hoffman said borough residents will still be able to pay bills either at the door or the drop box outside the building.
The future of the current municipal building remains undecided.
Construction of the new municipal building began last fall on land the borough received as a donation from Richard and Ann Gobin, of South Middleton Township, in December 2021.
The Gobins also are paying for the building’s construction with the agreement that the borough will pay them $4,000 per month or $48,000 per year in interest.
After both Richard and Ann Gobin have died, those payments will end and the borough will own the building outright.
Have you ever driven past the same building day after day and wondered what it looks like inside? Have you ever only seen a space from the street and wondered what lies within? Maybe the location is closed to the public, or maybe you’ve just never had a reason to go in. Now you don’t have to. An Inside Look, a new series from the Sentinel, aims to take readers into the curious places Cumberland County has to offer from the comfort of their living rooms. Join us every other week for a video and photo gallery of new, or sometimes very old, local places that are just waiting to be explored. Here’s a look at Laughlin Mill in Newville.
