Board clears Lackawanna Public Library window-replacement grant with negative declaration

City of Lackawanna Planning Board · August 3, 2026

Summary

The planning board approved a negative declaration to support a roughly $100,000 grant for exterior window and porch repairs at the Lackawanna Public Library; no structural changes were proposed and staff said a historic-preservation checklist will be required for the grant application.

City staff presented a grant request to support replacement of windows, doors and a back porch at the Lackawanna Public Library. The project, described as maintenance to preserve the building’s storage status and eligibility for historic status, does not change the building footprint and will use matching or grant funds to repair existing elements.

Staff asked the board to approve a negative declaration so the grant applications can move forward; the board approved the negative declaration by voice vote with no public comment. Staff noted a historic-preservation checklist (referred to in the record as a "neck deck") will be completed before the grant submission.
