It was a memorable day for North Beach Tuesday as a crowd of citizens joined town, state and Calvert County notables for the ribbon-cutting of the new Town Hall.
“This day recognizes the official opening of the Town Hall, an event that doesn’t happen many times,” said North Beach Mayor Mark Frazer. “This is a beautiful building that we can all be proud of.”
He asked “that we put aside all the controversy and division that attended this project in the past.” and added, “This new town hall stands for who we are and what we are.”
State Senate President Thomas V. “Mike” Miller stated that he had seen North Beach’s “ups and downs,” and said of the Town Hall, “If the people who founded North Beach 100 years ago could see this now: This looks like it belongs in Charleston, South Carolina.”
According to Miller, “The mayor and town council came together to make it happen. You never get sorry to help North Beach. It’s a beach town with a home town atmosphere.”
For Delegate Mark Fisher, the ribbon-cutting “begins a new chapter in this town’s renaissance,” and he noted that “these projects occur over many years and many public servants,” recognizing the contributions his predecessor delegates in attendance, George Owings and Sue Kullen.
He concluded, “Congratulations on a job well done. Let this building be the beginning of many good things to come.”
Calvert County Commissioners President Susan Shaw called the event “exciting. It’s about time you folks had a Town Hall that signifies who you are — people who come together when there’s a need.”
