As everyone waves goodbye to 2020 and welcomes 2021, the community leaders share the challenges and upcoming projects anticipated in the new year.
A common challenge many brought up is the COVID-19 pandemic, which hit the United States early last year. The virus shuttered school and government buildings, canceled events and caused many businesses to go under.
The new year will mean recovering from the aftermath as well as preparing for the future.
“The No.1 thing we are going to be working on is the administrative building,” said Rich Reville, the chair of the Northfield Center Township trustees.
In November, the trustees approved seeking qualifications after preliminary drawings were proposed by criteria architect the Thrasher Group. These plans were preliminary drawings for a proposed 10,053-square-foot building to be erected at the service department’s current garage and cold storage facility on Olde Eight Road.
