The overhaul of its existing 60,000-square-foot complex comes after years of talk. The project will revamp the finance, parks and recreation, the police department, clerks, the tax collector, and public works spaces. There will also be a change from a public meeting room to a community room, which could be used by residents and neighborhood organizations. The municipal building will be upgraded to include extra support and amenity spaces, shared, flexible meeting rooms, incubator space for start-up firms, and more.
The first floor of the renovated Falls Township Municipal Complex will house all municipal functions for the benefit of those who are elderly or have physical disabilities.
