October 16 meeting to be held at new building
When Mayor Robert Walsh gaveled Tuesday night's council meeting into adjournment he did so for what will likely be the last time at the Preventorium Road Town Hall. The next time the council is scheduled to meet the plan is for that to be the first meeting in the new Municipal Building, formerly known as the Global Building. As they sat at the dais for the last time some members of the council looked back fondly at their time in the building while looking forward to the future.

Clerk's office moved to new building on Friday
The scenes at the old Town Hall on Preventorium Road and the new Municipal Building on Route 9 were as different as the buildings themselves on Friday. A year after purchasing the former Global Building the transition from the old building to the new one took another step forward as Township Clerk Penny Wollman supervised the move of her office and staff to their new home.

Tell us your opinions
Now that the offices of the township manager and township clerk have been moved to the new municipal building on Route 9 we want to know what you think should happen to the buildings they once occupied. The Preventorium Road facility still includes the active senior citizens center but the old Town Hall, the old Howell Fire Bureau building and the former recreation building are no longer being used. Questions have been raised during the transition to the new building about the costs associated with maintaining the old building. What would you like to see done?
