We have many pressing needs, especially with the safety of Oak Street that should take precedence over a poorly designed huge Town Hall.

we do not need to compete with Carmel. we need to have the look and feel and size of "village"

What has happened to the "community" atmosphere of our village. The funds for upkeep of roads, etc. in each development need to be used in that development, not to pay for a huge town hall. Why isn't the other one already debt free? Where is the accountability to the citizens whom you were elected to serve?

I have seen the plans for the new town hall and frankly the second floor is not needed as no offices will be housed there

Our Oak Street concern is at intersection with 950E. I was told over a year ago that an engineering study was underway. Results??

Why did we buy an old church for an exorbitant amount and then come up with another exorbitant price just a few years later? Priorities are not properly addressed when other matters demand our attention first. Are we trying to keep up with Carmel?

Let's Get priorities straight and do roads right first. This design is indulging an edifice complex.

Wendy Brant Is it any wonder why the national debt is approaching 19 trillion dollars? Zionsville is but a microcosm of our national situation. Government gets bigger while fiscal restraint is gone with the whim of the vested at the trough.

Transparency on seemingly such a large expense is not only "good government," but the right thing to do.

I strongly doubt that the interior of the existing bldg, plus structural upgrades can't me made for less $. The proposed financing is appalling!

If a building of this size and cost and the amount of debt associated is justifiable to 6 of 7 council members then there should be little concern about the communities review of the decision making process and a vote. Besides that, more cost effective solutions might be discovered by allowing Zionsville citizens to provide input. If the need is justified and the funds are available then by all means the community should agree :). For the good of our community please let us decide. Thank you for your consideration.

As a resident of Zionsville I am against the town council spending 10 million plus dollars on a town hall without taking into considerations of it constituents.

This significantly impacts the citizens of our town and we are unable to provide input or receive proper information. Funding our schools requires a vote, but committing 10m that restricts other funding doesn't?

I disagree with the funding of a town hall for 10.2 million plus 44,000 square feet? There r existing buildings in Zionsville that are much less and could be renovated. There r two empty in the Villiage and what a better space then in the heart of Zionsville?

There needs to be more debate on the topic.

Contact the town council members and object to the proposed vote authorizing the mayor to begin the financing process of the proposed $10.2M, 40ksq ft town hall.

We do not need a 10.2M town hall!

I use the center section every day and is a very dangerous intersection especially for anyone turning left out of Kissel road from either direction. This intersection is a priority over spending money on a new Townhall.

I urge our town council and new Mayor to listen to the people who live in this community and not rush into unnecessary spending or building. We can do so much more with our town with $10 million--safe roads, bike paths, etc.
