Plum officials are in the process of securing an estimated $7.6 million bond to bolster a new borough building project, stormwater management projects and repurpose the current municipal site. Borough Manager Michael Thomas said bond counsel Pat Healy is working to acquire the funds. Council is expected to approve a resolution regarding the bond at its Monday meeting. The borough may close on the deal in about three months . “We need to get a lot more capital projects done for the community, a lot of infrastructure projects done,” Thomas said at Wednesday night’s workshop meeting. “Borrowing money right now for municipal government is the cheapest it’s ever been.”
Excavation continues along Old Mine Road in Plum for the borough’s new municipal center project. Massaro Construction Management Services is overseeing Rycon Construction crews at the site, which is next to the Renton Volunteer Fire Department and Plum EMS stations. Digging began in January and is expected to continue through April. It’s unclear when building construction will begin. The so-called town center would house a police station, municipal offices, gym, a plaza and a community center — essentially an all-in-one government service center. The current Plum Community Center is located at 499 Center-New Texas Road. The borough building is at 4575 New Texas Road.
