Council highlights library renovation as a top priority; bond-funded project to open in October
Summary
City staff recommended making the library renovation a top priority after voters approved a bond; staff said the renovated library will open to the public in October.
City staff recommended that the Astoria City Council list the library renovation among the council's top priorities after voters approved a bond to fund the project.
"I would recommend putting the library project as a top priority given the fact that the library voters overwhelmingly supported the passage of the bond to renovate our library, which will be done, and actually open to the public in October," Mister Spence told the council. Council members agreed it was appropriate to show the library as a top priority to signal the council's commitment to constituents.
Councilors noted the bond passed overwhelmingly and said listing the project as a top priority would show residents the council intends to finish the work. No additional budget or timeline specifics were provided beyond the comment that the renovated library is expected to open in October.
