A committee of local community leaders was organized in 1998 as the Friends of the Brandon Town Hall (“Friends”) to develop a plan to restore the town hall to achieve three important goals:   1.   Anchor the historic restoration of the town and serve as a keystone and guidepost from which other historic renovations can be realized; 2.   Return the building to the community to again discover the thrill of live performances, the arts, and community cohesiveness through events designed to reach all community members, regardless of age or income; and 3.   Bring new vitality to the downtown as a destination for visitors and a draw for local businesses.
