Roof
Roof Replacement
This project lays a 20 year roof and base for solar/cell tower projects. Historical Review is under consideration now. Timeline is still to be determined and will depend upon the materials and direction the committee chooses. A summer timeline will be easier on operations/effect on library occupants, but we should prepare for the possibility of not starting until late fall.
Solar Panels
This project has been officially decoupled from the roof replacement. The Solar Grant Report has been submitted to Ebsco.
