CAPE CHARLES, Va. — After months of discussion and community engagement, the Cape Charles Town Council has narrowed its options for a new municipal building, favoring town-owned property on Randolph Avenue as the preferred site.
During a public Town Hall meeting this week, the Council reviewed four potential options for housing municipal operations, evaluating each through five key benchmarks: safety, accessibility, capability, character, and parking. Once the field was narrowed, fiscal responsibility was also used as a final determining factor.
The Council heard public comments and allowed residents to participate in evaluating the proposals before making a decision.
Ultimately, the Council eliminated two options: building on Cassatt Parkway and a proposal to renovate the existing Town Hall while constructing a separate building for the Police Department. Those options did not score well across the selected criteria.
The Randolph Avenue location — a series of seven town-owned lots adjacent to the Meatland property — emerged as the top-ranked option. Council members said the site not only offers flexibility and centrality but also aligns with long-term goals for character and functionality.
To address immediate space needs and improve working conditions for municipal staff, the Council also authorized staff to begin lease negotiations with Trinity United Methodist Church. The church facility would serve as a temporary home for staff operations.
The Council is expected to continue developing design plans and cost estimates for the Randolph Avenue project in the coming months.
