BERLIN, Md. – Water damage and mold were found in the Berlin Town Hall Council Chambers during recent routine maintenance.
Out of an abundance of caution, work was immediately halted to allow for further testing and evaluation in the area. After it was determined that there were no safety and/or environmental risks present after testing, Town staff worked with external contractors to carry out necessary demolition and remediation of the area.
As work continues, residents may notice contractor vehicles parked at Town Hall during business hours. Town Hall remains open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. to allow residents to make payments on their utility bills.
Several public meetings have been rescheduled due to the location of the water damage, including the Board of Zoning Appeals (scheduled for August 9th), the Planning Commission (scheduled for August 9th), and the Mayor and Council (scheduled for August 14th).
Restoration work is scheduled to be completed by Wednesday, August 16th.
