Architect Martin Kimmel
CAPE MAY— City Council awarded a $448,000 contract to architects Kimmel Bogrette May 6 to continue their design work for a new Convention Hall here.

City Manager Luciano V. Corea Jr. said continuing to work with Kimmel Bogrette was discussed at earlier meetings where council agreed to the contract. He confirmed there would be no request for bids from other architects.
