After nearly 10 years of public debate, the Town of Newington approved a $28.8-million bond for a new Town Hall. Voters favored the project by a more than 2-1 margin.

​QA+M Architecture led a series of public workshops to develop community consensus and unite the public behind a plan to build a new Town Hall. Site configuration, recreation fields, traffic, walkability, environmental impact, cost and state building aid were among the many concerns expressed by the residents of Newington, who played a key part throughout the bond approval process.
