New Roof installed at City Hall in Wilmington

A new energy efficient roof is being installed this week at Thalian Hall as part of a one million dollar federal grant the city has received. The new roof will cover the flat portion of the Thalian Hall/City Hall building, or about one-quarter of the building. The installation should be completed in September and is not expected to impact activities at the building. The grant funding will also be used to make improvements in several city facilities, including lighting, plumbing, new water heater controls and thermostats, as well as solar panels at the Fleet facility on River Road.
