CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: We have a floor!
Crews were onsite today pouring the first floor. They’ll be back tomorrow to pour the basement.
Brick sales end on August 31. Get yours today before it’s too late.
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Backfilling the Site
Crews are onsite this week moving fill and bringing in fill to go around the basement walls.
- Facing the front of the building
- SW Corner
- Looking into the basement
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: We Have Forms
Crews were onsite over the past week installing the forms for the basement walls. Concrete is expected to be poured in the next few days.
Once the walls are poured, the concrete will need to site for at least 10-days to cure. Once cured, the forms will be removed and back-fill pushed into and around the foundation.
It’s really starting to look like a Library.
Libraries Need Solid Foundations
Crews were on site this past week and have poured the footings for the new Library.
The Library will have a full basement, 5,000 sq ft, used primarly for storage. This new space will allow us to cancel our current storage unit.
