remain in place until the remodeling project is completed, by October or
November 2002, according to Village Manager Dennis Kelly. In the
meantime, the Village Clerk, Village Manager and Finance Director's offices
are located in portables behind the Village Hall and adjacent to the north
side of the Library. The facade of the Village Hall will remain unchanged,
but the interior will look completely different when it reopens. If you'd like

If you plan to visit the Village
Hall in North Palm Beach, expect to
take a slight detour. The familiar
columned building, constructed
when the Village was incorporated
in 1956, is currently an empty shell
undergoing a major renovation.
Catalfumo Construction and
Development; Inc. was the successful
bidder for the remodeling project.
According to Steve Yohe, Interim
Director of Public Services, the job
was negotiated at a cost of
$1,442, 691 for 10,000 square feet of
construction. As to timing, the
project is scheduled on the "fast track"
with completion targeted for October -
November of this year.
The Commission Chambers and
the administrative departments,
including the Village Manager,
Finance, and the Village Clerk are
being housed in portable units for the
duration of the project. The mobile
offices are situated behind the Village
Hall, adjacent to the north side of the
library.
Along with the municipal offices,
and the Commission Chambers, the
Village Hall originally housed the
police department, the fire
department, and the emergency
medical service. These last three units
have been relocated to the new Public
Safety Facility. Located across from
the Village Hall on the east side of
U.S. 1, the Public .Safety Facility was
completed in 1999.
The Village of North Palm Beach
celebrates its 50th anniversary in the
year 2006. Incorporated in 1956, the
city was awarded the Best .Planned
Community in the U.S." designation
in 1957 by the National Association of
Homebuilders. Because of this
historic significance, the fagade of the
Village Hall will remain unchanged, IVA
k
aside from any . building code
modifications.
