After two years of searching for a new home, Wareham Community TV might be staying put, after all.

That depends on how the Wareham Historic District Commission votes on July 22, when it will hold a public hearing to discuss the proposed building expansion at 505 Main St. by WCTV.

The new building addition would be a 30-by 40-foot room at the rear of the building, going toward the railroad tracks, according to WCTV interim Executive Director Steve Ruiz.

“We’re trying to expand to get some more room. We’re kind of on top of each other,” Ruiz said.

WCTV officials have said that the organization has outgrown its current space, and have been looking for other locations in town.

Last summer, WCTV had expressed interest in moving into the high school weight room in the old Boys & Girls Club building on Viking Drive, but a deal with the town fell apart at the 11th hour.

After that, the town, WCTV, and library officials tried to work together to have WCTV move into the Wareham Free Library and share the space.

The plans for for that move, however, never got off the ground.

Ruiz said the WCTV Board of Directors tasked him with investigating the possibility of staying at their current location, but expanding the building.

Ruiz estimates WCTV has already put $250,000 in upgrades and repairs into the building.

“If we do pursue expansion it’ll come at our own expense, not the town,” he added.

Ruiz said that he has been in contact with Selectman and that Town Administrator Derek Sullivan has signed off on the application.

Ruiz said he sees the potential expansion as a win for both parties: WCTV gets the extra space they want, and the building at 505 Main St., which is town property, remains occupied.

Ruiz said the new space would likely be a new, larger studio area or house offices and editing rooms.

“We want to make it better for our members,” he said.

Ruiz said the potential expansion isn’t much of a change, as far as the historic nature of the building, and that the meeting with the Historic District Commission represents about the halfway point of the process.

“We’ve got a couple more steps afterwards, but this is one of the big ones,” he said.
