The 2014 trade moved the old Town Hall at 16 North Royal Avenue to Afton Inn LLC, sparking debate as opponents argued the town lost a better landmark while supporters said redevelopment would revive Downtown. The Afton Inn property later sold for 325,000 in 2021 to 2 East Main LLC, with reassessment valuing the site at 243,400, while the former Town Hall lot sits at 759,300.
