Mayfield’s 115-year-old Municipal Building has a new look. The borough unveiled its revitalized municipal headquarters on Wednesday, celebrating the completion of a nearly yearlong, $360,000-plus project to modernize the interior and the exterior of the building at 739 Penn Ave. “It’s been much improved to modernize it and bring it up to the 21st century,” Mayor Al Chelik said during a tour of the building Thursday. Work began on the Municipal Building in August, Chelik said.
