With the $81 million Tisbury School project well under way, town leaders now are looking at their next building challenge: an up to date, consolidated location for municipal offices.
More than four years after the steeple and bell came down from atop Tisbury Town Hall, the 1844 building — a former church — finally has them back again.
Spring street in Vineyard Haven will be closed Saturday between Franklin and Main streets, as workers reinstall Town Hall's steeple.
The wooden steeple and bell were removed from the Tisbury town hall on Saturday.
Amid mounting concerns about its structural integrity, the historic steeple that stands above the Tisbury town hall will be removed. Town facilities manager Kirk Metell said the project is expected to begin Dec. 1.
The steeple on the Tisbury town hall is structurally compromised and in possible danger of collapse, town officials confirmed this week.
