DoomsdaysCWSo, a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunitySpace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunitySpace</a> is being built in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HollisMaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HollisMaine</a>. In addition to housing the town's government, it will also be a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThirdSpace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThirdSpace</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EmergencyShelter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EmergencyShelter</a> for local residents. (Also, when I searched for more information, I found the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USDA</a> press release about the project had been DELETED! But that's a rant for another time...)"Once complete, the structure will house the offices of the town staff, the Select Board and Planning Board, as well as services such as motor vehicle registration and General Assistance access."There will be a large multipurpose room for public meetings and events. Most of these features will be on the ground floor, with ample room for expansion as needed in the future thanks to a full daylight basement. "With climate change and severe storms in mind, town leaders also plan to use the new facility as an emergency shelter. "'In the last year we had two major storms that put the power out for two to five days a lot of people, and we didn’t have anywhere for people to go to warm up, charge their phones, and so forth,' said Mary Hoffman, who is on the town select board."The energy-efficient, spacious and accessible new town office will provide a warm shelter during future power outages or other emergencies."Another beneficiary of the larger building slated to open next year will be the town’s Parks and Recreation Department, which will have more storage space and more options for evening activities."<a href="https://www.mainebiz.biz/article/a-york-county-town-breaks-ground-on-new-municipal-building-debt-free" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.mainebiz.biz/article/a-york-county-town-breaks-ground-on-new-municipal-building-debt-free</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EmergencyShelter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EmergencyShelter</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunityBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityBuilding</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThirdSpace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThirdSpace</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AccessibleSpace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AccessibleSpace</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maine</a>
