Lenox awarded funds for historic town hall repairs

LENOX, Mass. (WWLP) – Congressman Richard Neal was in Lenox to announce $750,000 to help restore town hall.

The money will go toward repairing and restoring the deteriorating dome, fixing water damage in the rotunda, and improving the handicapped accessible ramp. The building is over 100 years old.

“The Town has many, many historic buildings and a lot of them are in desperate need of repair to preserve their historic nature,” explained Neal Maxymillian, Chair of the Lenox Selectboard.

The next step is to get the historical commission involved to help plan the projects.
