Library renovation advances; board hears about change orders and two recent grants
Summary
SelectBoard received a construction update on the Middletown Springs library renovation, learned of upcoming window removals and structural change orders, and heard that the project received a $4,000 AARP grant and $5,000 from the M&T Bank Foundation.
A presenter updated the SelectBoard on progress at the library renovation, reporting driveway work, parking adjustments and a planned window replacement beginning in mid-December. The presenter said the contractor will remove old glazing with asbestos-safe wrapping and that several structural items will require change orders; the board expects specific change-order amounts and documentation at the next meeting. "The windows are still slated to come middle of December," the Presenter said, adding that structural items would be identified for the next meeting's packet.
The board also heard that the library received a $4,000 grant from AARP to support winter programming (with funds available for management costs) and $5,000 from the M&T Bank Foundation for general project expenses. The presenter described these as early, helpful contributions as the project approaches potentially significant cumulative expenditures. The board agreed to accept the updates and review formal change-order documentation when available.
