| City Hall of Vineland was dedicated in November 1971. The total cost of the building was 4.4 million dollars which included all associated costs. It was constructed during the period that "Bub" Garton was the mayor of Vineland. He played a major role in ensuring the completion of the project. Great care was spent in constructing the building so that it could serve present and future needs. For example, all the interior partitions are detached and be moved on a five foot center without disrupting the lighting or the heating and air conditioning systems. The building has a large amount of permanent material such as concrete, brick and aluminum which has reduced the cost of maintenance. Heat generated in the interior of the building by lights and motors is reused to heat the peripheral of the building. All critical areas have individual temperature control units. Because of this the lights can be left on at all times and the heat that is captured actually creates a savings. |
