Richfield will use pre‑painted LP premium siding on Eastwood Barn; town estimates $6,000 saving
Summary
Mayor Michael Wheeler told the Parks & Recreation Board that the Eastwood Barn siding will be LP premium pre‑painted material with a 15‑year paint warranty and a 30‑year material warranty, saving roughly $6,000 in painting costs; board members urged a ribbon cutting when the barn is complete.
Mayor Michael Wheeler told the Parks & Recreation Board that the Eastwood Barn project will use an LP premium pre‑painted siding product, saying, "It is a pre- painted with an acrylic paint that comes with a 15 year paint warranty and a 30 year material warranty. It also saves about $6,000 in extra painting costs." The mayor characterized the choice as a cost‑saving step that reduces future painting and maintenance burdens.
Board members flagged next steps for the finished structure. Ellen Daniels suggested marking the barn opening with a public celebration, proposing "a ribbon cutting ceremony, and or a Hoedown/Barn Warming," and asked that the interior be decorated with photos and farm implements and that porch rocking chairs be considered under the memorial tree and bench program. The mayor said staff and contractor options (Yoder Barns) are coordinating final siding and installation details; staff will provide a follow‑up update to the board.
