THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Cambridge plans to award the Old City Hall clock tower and facade restoration to Valley Restoration for $125,000, funded through a Maryland Historical Trust capital grant with a 1:1 City match in the FY27 budget. The work includes wood repair, finial replacement, and full prep and painting of the tower, vents, trim, and doors, with substantial completion 60 days after NTP. While the main restoration vendor is chosen, there is potential follow-on demand for masonry, roofing, historic consulting, and ongoing maintenance of the rehabilitated landmark.
Project uses Maryland Historical Trust Capital Grants Program funds plus a 1:1 local match. MHT must approve the contract before NTP.
