What are the benefits of moving Township Hall to the Massey property (NW corner of Ann Arbor and Haggerty Roads)? Why not rebuild on the same site?
Perhaps one of the greatest benefits to moving the facilities to Haggerty Road is that the Township will acquire a parcel of 9.5 acres. This is three times the space that we have now and will allow a nice development with a park-like atmosphere that we can all be proud of. The move will actually come with great savings. If the Township purchases the Massey property, builds a new facility then sells the current Township Hall property, we expect to earn roughly $1M from the sale, over and above what we plan to pay for the Massey site. Not to mention the many difficulties that temporarily relocating operations would cause while a new facility is built on the current site. It would not be easy to find a temporary site that meets even our minimal needs and operations would have to be moved twice.
