STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, COLORADO-March 6, 2023-Are you looking for a piece of office furniture, file cabinets, fixtures or securing a piece of city history, then the upcoming Community Days is perfect for local organizations and community members.
“We’re applying sustainability across the project and working to ensure as much of the materials from the old city hall remain out of the landfill,” said Deputy City Manager Tom Leeson. “Organizations and the public have the opportunity to secure some great office items absolutely free.”
City staff and many municipal services have transitioned to the temporary City Hall across the street in Centennial Hall including all office furniture that will continue to be used. Everything else is being given away for free to the community over three days next week.
Are you looking for that perfect two- or three-hole paper punch? You can find the ideal version as a variety of makes and models will be on display, and you can even test drive to find the perfect one! In fact, everything from office supplies like 3-ring binders and hole punchers to furniture including credenzas and file cabinets and all sorts in between will be up for the taking.
Date | Time | Group |
Tuesday, March 14 | 10AM–5PM | Non- Profits |
Wednesday, March 15 | 10AM–6PM | General Public |
Thursday, March 16 | 10AM–6PM | General Public |
Non-profits will have first crack at securing office items on March 14 from 10am to 5pm. Then on the following two days between 10am to 6pm, the general public will be able to peruse office fixtures in the old city hall. Items are expected to move fast so individuals should be ready to haul items away immediately as the city will not be able to hold items.
Much of the building, built in 1961, contains asbestos specifically in weight bearing walls, flooring, caulking around windows, and window framing panels. and requires specific abatement. However, if there is an interest in other building fittings such as office doors, bathroom fixtures and other non-contaminated materials, a facilities representative will be on hand to discuss details and options.
“There is still plenty of good life in the equipment being offered even though it may have outlived its use for the city,” said Facilities Manager Eric Friese. “We would really like others to take advantage of these things and keep them from being disposed of. Besides the price can’t be beat!”
The temporary City Hall is being established across the street in the foyer of Centennial Hall (124 10th Street). Upon entering the building, the front desk will greet citizens. Centennial Hall will house the City & Deputy City Manager offices, Finance, Planning, Human Resources as well as temporary office spaces for remote employees. City Clerk and Facilities will be in the adjacent Elkins House. The secure drop box will be relocated outside Centennial Hall.
