Both entities are adversely affected, with their respective operations compromised and curtailed.<br /><br />There is now some impetus behind accommodating the museum elsewhere. I think a new, expansive stand-alone building is on the museum's wish list.

If we can move the armory building there as well, we can keep all the Town's screw ups under one roof, or at least on the same property. Maybe we can get a council next term that has the courage to sort out those disasters. Righting the wrongs/mistakes of the past is something this Town council is incapable or unwilling to do.
