East Hampton Town Looking To Centralize Offices

East Hampton Town is looking into several plans to centralizing its offices, currently scattered throughout town, according to East Hampton Star.

A team has suggested tearing down the largely empty old town hall building, and building a new 14,000-square-foot annex, using green construction and technology, according to East Hampton Star.

The project is estimated to cost $5.5 million, however it would only taxpayers about $600,000 with an expected sale of town property and a state grant, East Hampton Star reports.

This option would cost $2.9 million
