New building purchased by Malden for interim city hall
The purchase of a building at 110 Pleasant Street was recently unanimously approved by the Malden City Council for use as an interim City Hall. The cost of the building was $1.88m.
The building has three floors and is about 14,000 square feet in size. It will temporarily house many of the departments that residents need on a daily basis.
The new City Hall is being built at 17 Pleasant Street. It also has three floors but is a bit smaller in size at 12,500 square feet. It will be leased for three years at a cost of $215,000 a year, with one-month options for other departments in the city.
According to Neil Kinnon, Ward 6 Councillor, purchasing the building will save money for the city as it would have cost $675,000 a year for leasing the building. In addition, the city will have control of the building for future use.
The current Police Station and the City Hall will continue to be owned by the city through November. The new Police Station is expected to be completed by that time.
This would be a good opportunity for the City Council to print flyers and other materials that can be mailed out to residents informing them of the building situation and where they can find needed city services.
