Overview: The Freetown Board of Selectmen addressed the critical space shortages at Town Hall by discussing and voting on several measures to alleviate the situation. The board considered moving some town departments to the fire station number two and other locations to create more room. The space constraints, particularly acute in the Planning Department located on the third floor, pose evacuation challenges in the event of a fire. To combat these issues, the fire department offered space at their station to be converted into offices. The board also discussed potential improvements such as adding windows, an ADA-compliant bathroom, and a secure public access system to ensure the safety of town employees and the public.
