The strategy aims to rejuvenate the town garage by modernizing its facilities and ensuring it meets current and future needs. The first step involves a comprehensive needs assessment, where all current equipment and machinery are listed, and the garage layout is evaluated against these requirements. This also includes consulting with town staff for insights and engaging a facilities engineer for structural evaluations. Such thorough assessment helps in documenting essential needs, serving as a benchmark for necessary upgrades.
The subsequent step is to develop a phased renovation plan. This involves prioritizing essential renovations for immediate functionality, working with architects for design plans, and considering eco-friendly practices. It also includes planning for an upgraded drainage system and exploring funding options. Each renovation phase is outlined with a timeline, ensuring compliance with regulations while keeping the community informed.
Finally, increasing stakeholder and community engagement is crucial. Regular meetings with town officials, community input sessions, and open house events foster transparency and inclusivity. By maintaining active communication through local media and the township's website, the project ensures continuous community involvement, allowing residents to feel invested in the outcome.
