Mayor says Lake Hawat Library will be refurbished, not demolished
Summary
The mayor announced the township will refurbish the existing Lake Hawat library building rather than demolish it, citing rising demolition costs and plans to work with architects and engineers; updates will be shared at council meetings and future town halls.
Mayor: The mayor told attendees the administration will refurbish the existing Lake Hawat library building instead of demolishing it, saying demolition is no longer feasible after rising costs. "That ship has sailed... the costs have risen to the point where to invest the money to do that is no longer feasible however we have a good engineering company...and we're going to refurbish that building," the mayor said.
Why it matters: The library serves local residents and the mayor said the township has consulted architects and visited other small libraries to gather examples for a cost-effective refurbishment.
Next steps and oversight: The mayor said staff and consultants are reviewing options and that the administration will provide updates at future council meetings and town halls. No formal design approval or funding decision was taken at the town hall.
