East Hartford’s 86-year-old Town Hall will be receiving a much-needed renovation to replace mechanical systems — think heating, air conditioning and more — that have “exceeded their life expectancy,” according to town officials. The goal now is to completely vacate the Town Hall facility so that the entire building can be renovated at once, versus renovating in phases, which could have increased the cost and the time it takes to complete the project, officials said. Town Chief of Staff Connor Martin said that “these renovations have been a long time coming and we are grateful to the East Hartford Town Council for approving this major project. The goal of these renovations is to provide Town Hall visitors and personnel a safe, revitalized, and sustainable environment to conduct the business of the Town.” The $21.6 million project is expected to be completed in about a year.
