DARIEN, Conn. The following letter is from Darien RTM member Holly Schulz of 543 Hoyt St.
Unfortunately, what began as a great creative idea to develop the shuffle of Town Hall Annex, 35 Leroy and Edgerton Senior Center spaces wasnt explored beyond the original concept, leaving us with an oversized, overpriced solution to the problems that were originally identified. We need a new Senior Center (now). After touring the buildings in question, reading the architects presentations and attending the RTM discussions, it seems that a compromise solution could quickly and easily be pursued.
If space can be allocated more efficiently for all government and Board of Ed offices at Town Hall (sharing conference room, lunch and IT areas, reducing the number/size of private offices, using digital filing to reduce storage and moving BOE maintenance to the Public Works garage) then likely a more appropriately sized Senior Center can fit in Town Hall Annex along with the Board of Ed (leaving Leroy and Edgerton available for other uses).
