Based on the feedback received, the project will provide for the 1875 Perrin Homestead renovation, demolition of the 1966 addition, and construction of a support building which will include a unisex restroom, storage room and mechanical/electrical room. Also included, as part of the project, will be site improvements consisting of site clearing, grading, the addition of a new entry and parking lot with associated Low Impact Development features, landscaping, as well as security lighting, a drinking fountain, sidewalks and bike racks. The additive alternate accepted as part of this contract will allow the existing homestead wood flooring to be reused as an exterior veneer for the new support building. Construction is anticipated to begin January 2021 and is estimated to be completed by October 2021.
