Renovate or rebuild, that is the question

STAFF WRITERGLEN ROCK -- Borough officials plan a public forum in the coming weeks to determine the fate of the aging municipal building, which is plagued with mold, leaks and inadequate utilities.
"It's time to take major steps to renovate," Mayor John van Keuren said. "The flat roof leaks, the heating and air conditioning are marginally functioning, and the layout of the building isn't resident- or employee-friendly."
Van Keuren said the quarters of the Police Department in the basement are too small and have improper ventilation. Other areas of the 1920s-era building are unusable.
"We can't keep the computers cool enough," van Keuren said. "We must be careful that they're not going to be exposed to leaks. If that happens, the Police Department will shut down. We also have portions of the building we can't use because of mold and dampness in the basement.
"The services the residents use the most -- such as the Building Department -- are the most difficult to access in the building on the second floor. Some things require difficult navigation through the building."
The issue of renovating or rebuilding Borough Hall has been before the council for about three years.
