Construction wraps up; contractor says occupancy may be conditional as board sets moving plan
Summary
Construction manager Peter Stevenson reported finish work underway at the new Middletown Springs library, warned a conditional certificate of occupancy is likely while punch‑list items remain, and the board discussed timing for moving books and staff into the building.
The Middletown Springs Library board received an update from construction consultant Peter Stevenson on progress inside the new building and what remains before the library can open.
Stevenson said painters and finish crews are completing trim and stair work and that equipment deliveries such as countertops and heat/AC units are arriving. He warned the board that the town may issue a conditional certificate of occupancy with a punch list attached rather than a full final sign‑off. "It may be a conditional certificate of occupancy with the list attached to it," Stevenson said, noting inspectors will return once the punch‑list items are completed. Board members discussed how a conditional occupancy would affect the planned move and the timing of final payments to contractors; Stevenson said some funds may be held until outstanding items are finished.
