Summary
The town's old fire administration building downtown is empty, outdated, and needs $1-1.5 million in upgrades. Council is weighing selling it (staff's recommendation) versus keeping it for community use, and wants an appraisal and municipal-use price tags before deciding.

Impact analysis
Renovating could cost $1-1.5 million; selling could return roughly $2-3 million to the town and put the parcel back on the tax rolls.
Downtown residents and businesses gain either a reinvested community space or an activated private redevelopment on a prime corner.
Anyone hoping for a downtown community space could lose that option if the town sells without restrictions.
