Town of Wagener Receives Munical
Achievement Award The Town of Wagener desperately needed an adequate Town Hall. Town business was being conducted in a 10x16 office, and the police department occupied a 10x12 office. The Wagener Town Council decided that a new site was very much needed and achieved that goal in a very practical and economic way.
A committee was selected to choose an available property. Once a property had been selected, Town Council was able to convince the owner to donate the buildings (abandoned warehouses) to the town for renovation. Funding was secured through the sale of a medical building that was owned by the town. A local citizen was hired to oversee the work. Under his watchful eye, town employees, council members, the mayor and their family members worked to complete the project. The town used the services offered by South Carolina State Surplus to furnish the new building. The total spent on furnishings was less than $1500.
The Town of
Wagener now has a Town Hall with almost 5,000 square feet
available for use. The upstairs will add another 5,000
square feet and will enable the town to house the museum in
the building. Employees are now proud of their workplace,
and the citizens are beginning to take more of an interest
in their town. The project has also sparked a measure of
growth for the town. Prior to the project’s completion, five
of the eight buildings on the block were vacant and/or in
need of repairs. At this time, all eight buildings are
occupied. You can read about other Municipal Achievement
Awards at
