It was an exciting evening. So much passion and controversy over this wonderful building. At the end of the evening the voters of Sterling spoke loud and clear. Do something and do it now! No more studies. Article 16 passed by majority which calls for needed repairs to the roof structure, removal of slate, underlayment and shingling with architectural asphalt which looks like slate and finishing the great hall with raised ceilings with open view from gallery to stage. We now get to relieve the structure from the heavy load it has been carrying for 125 years and add new vibrance and utility to our great Town Hall.
