News Release - Greater Napanee Moves Forward with Rehabilitation Work at Town Hall

(GREATER NAPANEE, ON) – As part of the ongoing restoration of Napanee’s Town Hall, repairs have been completed to the roof of the building to address wear and ensure the long-term protection of Town Hall.

The rehabilitation work focused on improving the integrity and waterproofing of the existing roof through a series of targeted repairs. These repairs included replacing sealant around vent stack flashings, reinforcing roof membrane patches, coating pitch pockets with a UV-stable protective product, and replacing sealant on skylight seams, roof hatch flashings, parapets, coping caps, and other roof details. As part of the project, all roof fasteners were also inspected, and any loose or missing fasteners were replaced to enhance waterproofing.  

In addition to these repairs, a new protective coating was applied to the roof of Town Hall. The coating was installed in two coats, with spot priming completed over areas of corrosion and all roof details to provide additional durability and protection from the weather. 

With the roof repairs complete, planning continues for the next phases of rehabilitation work at Town Hall. Following Council direction, staff are currently working on a revised interior floor plan for the main level of the building. Once the floor plan is approved, the engineering and architectural work required will begin to complete construction drawings and obtain the necessary permit approvals. Preliminary design work will also begin on the Rotary Market Structure. Design concepts for the structure are expected to be presented to Council in the coming months for review and consideration. 

Updates will continue to be provided throughout each milestone of the rehabilitation work being completed at Town Hall.
