Trustees to decide on subsidy, improvements for senior organization
At their meeting Tuesday evening, Jan. 12, West Chester trustees were presented with a proposed lease agreement they will likely enter into with Partners in Prime on Jan. 26.
In addition to the lease, trustees also heard from Township Administrator Judi Boyko, who made a presentation on financial and other requests from the Hamilton-based senior organization.
It’s broken down as such:
- $167,500 for improvements
- $100,000 in annual subsidy
- $39,000 in additional improvements as determined by township staff.
However, an estimated $28,500 will likely come off the final number, as improvements to the facility’s entrance and nearby Cox Road aren’t necessary, Boyko and the county’s engineer’s office said.
The lease is good for 10 years (expiring in December 2019). It says Partners will pay the township $1 in rent each year for the life of the lease. It says the initial renovations (those costing $167,500) must be complete on or before March 31 (it could also be extended to May 31).
In addition to operating the old library as a community center, the facility will also be equipped with a book drop-off, post office kiosk and an office space for the township’s police department.
The lease also says Partners can obtain a liquor permit for the building if they want.
Partners in Prime has said they plan to open the community center by June 1, but that could change depending on the completion of necessary improvements
