The Norwood Selectmen Tuesday, in a unanimous vote, took action aimed at razing the Old Village Hall on Broadway which is in the process of being condemned by the Town. A representative of Boazen Realty, Inc., identified as the present owners of the building, will be invited to meet with the Town Fathers next Tuesday.
Following action taken by the Board at the July 16th meeting, emergency steps were taken for safeguarding pedestrians and the initial steps taken for condemning the structure.
At the present time, the building is used for the storage of an assortment of bales of wool and synthetic fibers ranging in weight from 400 to 500 pounds.
The United Waste Company, Inc., has the building under lease at present, said Town Manager Walter A. Blasenak, who added that some of the material stored there has been removed.
In a letter dated August 15, United advised Manager Blasenak that they would vacate as soon as possible.
