Highlands will be getting a new municipal building, and nobody knows how much it will cost. The plans have grown 14% and now require excavation. Unfortunately, the grand staircase had to be sacrificed. A tower is to be constructed for the historic school bell. “Maybe you could commission a local sculptor to create a structure so that it really becomes a community enterprise,” remarked architect Mitchel Sorin.

An unknown amount of greenwash will be included in the plans. Says Sorin, “You can go light green, medium green or dark green – it all depends on how much green you have.”
