The city managers office sent out the City Managers Newsletter on Friday. The full newsletter can be found by going to the citys website (concordnh.gov) and clicking the Newsletter button on the home page. Here are some of the highlights from last weeks letter:

School Street parking garage

The contractor has installed water and sewer connections, which will serve a new maintenance room to be constructed on the first floor of the School Street garage. Having water readily available in the garage will improve maintenance efforts and cleanliness. The contractor has also begun concrete repairs on the first floor of the garage, at the Warren Street side of the facility. Repairs will be ongoing for several months. Lastly, most of the steel frame for the new south stair tower has been completed, and concrete for stair treads and landings have been poured. The glass curtain wall for the garage is scheduled to be installed this winter.

Fire department communication center makeover

The Fire Department Communications Center is replacing its 1960s/70s-era consoles with updated equipment. The old consoles have been removed and the main floor of the Communications Center has been cleared of all but one work station for the installation of the new equipment, which will begin this week. On-duty dispatchers are working from the supervisors office and will relocate to the Lakes Region Center in Laconia next week for the final phase of the project. The Communications Center serves two dozen communities and agencies throughout central New Hampshire and generates a significant amount of revenue for the city of Concord.
