ROYAL OAK, MI – City officials have moved a planned town hall meeting on the proposed Royal Oak Civic Center to the Churchill Community Education Center due to a scheduling conflict at Royal Oak Middle School, the original location.
The town hall meeting is from 6-9 p.m. on Tuesday, May 24. Churchill Community Education Center is located at 707 Girard Ave.
Residents will have an opportunity to hear and comment on details of the proposal to sell the current city hall and police station building to a private developer for a retail and office building, build a new police station, increase downtown parking and create a large downtown park.
