Cohasset Moves Forward with Plans for New Town Hall Expansion

The town of Cohasset, Massachusetts is set to embark on a new chapter in its history as it prepares to renovate and expand its iconic Town Hall building. The ambitious project has been years in the making, with concerns about the building dating back 15 years.

In recent years, studies have been conducted to address concerns about the building's structure and functionality. In 2018, residents voted in favor of a plan to restore the old town hall and build a new annex. Now, the town is poised to move forward with the project, which will require a temporary tax increase to fund the work.

The proposed renovation and expansion will include significant upgrades to the existing building, including new auditoriums equipped with state-of-the-art Real D technology. The project is expected to be completed over the next 30 years, with debt service beginning in fiscal 2027. According to town officials, taxes on a home worth the median value of $993,700 would rise by approximately $450 in the first year of debt service.

The town has partnered with PowerTap and its unique on-site hydrogen production and dispensing unit to expand its fueling network. This strategic partnership is expected to bring significant benefits to the community.

As the project moves forward, residents will have the opportunity to weigh in at a special town meeting before a ballot vote. The proposal requires a two-thirds majority to pass, ensuring that every resident has a say in the future of Cohasset Town Hall.
