The Central Library Disposal Surplus Property Criteria and Selection Committee was appointed by Mayor Cieslewicz to request and analyze development proposals for a new Central Library. On Thursday, May 14, the Committee met to review proposed plans for the development of a new library building or the rehabilitation of the existing library, and recommended the plan proposed by the Fiore Companies. The Library Board will meet to discuss this on Thursday, June 4 at 4:30 p.m. in Room 201 of the Central Branch. You can still pose a question or share your comments or suggestions with the Committee and the Library Board. Questions - and the developers' answers - will be posted on the library's web site shortly.
The Committee and the Library Board held a public meeting on Thursday, January 8th. At this hearing, the two developers that have responded to the Committee's Request for Proposals, T. Wall Properties and Fiore Companies/Irgens Development Partners, presented their very different plans for a new Central Library, and answered questions about their proposals. The meeting was also taped by City Channel and is available on their web site. [more info]
