Why does Sherman need another meeting room?
The multipurpose room is not an addition to the number of meeting rooms in Sherman. It replaces the inadequate existing meeting room in Town Hall. It will also serve as the training facility for Emergency services, the town meeting room for all large town meetings as well as a certified shelter and a rentable space for private functions. The current meeting room in the firehouse is used over 300 times a year. It will eliminate the need to construct a new meeting room at Mallory Town hall that was recently estimated to cost $400,000.
