Bowmanstown hopes to improve the condition of its borough hall bell tower.

Councilman Rob Moyer said at Tuesday’s borough council meeting that the bell tower is of concern.

“It is not in very good shape,” Moyer said. “A lot of the paint is in very bad shape.”

Moyer stressed the situation needs to be addressed.

“We need to do something about the bell tower,” he said. “If we let it go, it’s going to get worse.”

There is rotting wood on the southern facing corners along with the flagpole at the borough hall bell tower.

Council asked borough secretary Tracy Csrenko to reach out to the company that previously refurbished it for a quote.

Last month, the borough crew planned to get pictures of the bell tower for any decisions to be made on what action the borough was going to take.

The Bowmanstown Borough Municipal Building is a converted school building that was constructed in 1903 to serve the youths of the community.

In 1964, the borough acquired the old brick school building and has been using it as offices ever since.

The borough kept the building in its original condition.
