Whatever the City decides to do they should not give up that location. They will NEVER get it back.

San Mateo once had their city hall in their downtown and there was some talk of bringing it back to downtown. Trying to get that space back now is impossible.

Stay put.
Fix it.
More meeting space? Walk across the street to the library’s Lane Room.

Did we get several estimates on removing asbestos I wonder. That number seems very high based on the sq footage.

They say:

The average cost to remove asbestos from commercial buildings typically ranges from $5 to $20 per square foot, depending on several factors. These factors include:

Extent of contamination:
Larger buildings or those with more widespread asbestos may cost more to clean up.

Location of asbestos:
Asbestos in hard-to-reach areas, such as pipes or ceilings, may increase costs.

Local regulations: Some areas have stricter regulations for asbestos removal, which can drive up costs.

Disposal fees: The cost of safely disposing of asbestos can vary based on location and waste management fees.
On average, a complete asbestos abatement project for a commercial building can cost anywhere from $15,000 to $30,000 or more, depending on the size of the building and the extent of the asbestos contamination.

For larger buildings or complex projects, costs can rise significantly. It’s recommended to get several quotes from licensed professionals for a more accurate estimate.
