Kimmel Bogrette assessed the existing Hampden Township building and concluded that the building could not accommodate the needs of the Township now, much less in the future with respect to required parking, office, and meeting spaces as well as power capacity, technology, security, and HVAC systems.
The decision was made to design and build new. The new Municipal Building provides functional office and meeting space for the departments of Administration, Community Development, Finance/Billing, Public Works administrative staff, and the Police Department. It also provides meeting space for the Board of Commissioners and other boards, commissioners, and authorities to conduct business and hold public meetings for up to 120 people as well as for Hampden Township’s elected Tax Collector and the Capital Region Council of Governments (under a long-term lease with the Township).
Financing for the project was accomplished by Capital Improvement Funds and a Bond Issuance.
