Our goal is to think outside of our usual boxes to consider how these facilities can best serve our community long into the future. While many of our facilities are experiencing significant issues, it is fiscally prudent to not just “fix things” or accept quick solutions. Our goal with this project is to take advantage of the opportunity presenting itself – to wholistically evaluate all of Cheltenham’s facilities and services to increase efficiencies, improve service, and engage in fiscal sustainability. Significant and expensive capital repairs are required to keep these buildings in operation. Every one of Cheltenham’s facilities is at a point where basic maintenance is no longer able to provide safe and comfortable user experiences. Over the years, the Township has had to make tough decisions on funding and maintaining its extensive and aging infrastructure while not unduly stressing our taxpayers – a very difficult balance. This study will help to understand the extent of the facilities’ conditions and the cost to renovate them to ensure their mechanicals and structures are in good working order, are compliant with current building codes, and can meet current and future programming needs. In the summer of 2022, Cheltenham Township engaged the design team of KCBA and Re:Vision Architecture to evaluate the condition of a majority of Cheltenham Township’s 16 facilities. The Township notes that comments on the presentation will be available until Thursday, August 31. A recording of the July 26 Concept Presentation has been posted as well. Cheltenham Township has posted a series of updates regarding the ongoing Facilities Study.
